Larry Flynt", Scott Hicks for "Shine", Mike Leigh for "Secrets & Lies" In the 1996 awards race, four of the five Best Picture nominees were from independent studios - and financed outside of mainstream Hollywood. 1996 was therefore dubbed "The Year of the Independents," plus films from abroad. For the first time in Oscar history, none of the major Hollywood studios (including Paramount, MGM, Warner Bros., UA, Fox, Columbia, Universal, or Disney's Buena Vista) were represented among the Best Picture-nominated films for 1996. All the pictures nominated for Best Picture were low-budget, independent films - with the sole exception possibly being Tri-Star's Jerry Maguire, the closest nominee to a major, mainstream Hollywood studio. [The surge for independent films wouldn't last long - in 1997, the big-studio, big-budget Titanic (1997) swept the Oscars.] The big winner of the year was writer/director Anthony Minghella's The English Patient (a Saul Zaentz/Miramax film).

[20th Century Fox studios dropped its support during pre-production, letting it go to the independent Miramax.] It was a prestigious, three hour long World War II saga/romance composed of flashbacks, conspiracies, and ambiguities and based on an adaptation of Michael Ondaatje's novel, about a French-Canadian nurse who cares for a mysterious, dying burn patient ('The English Patient') in a ruined, abandoned monastery in Italy's Tuscany, after he was wounded in a WWII plane crash in the African desert. It had twelve nominations and nine Oscar wins - Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actress, Best Art Direction, Best Cinematography, Best Sound, Best Original Dramatic Score, Best Costume Design, and Best Film Editing. It lost its nominations for Best Adapted Screenplay (Minghella), Best Actor (Fiennes) and Best Actress (Scott Thomas). Its nine Oscar wins made it the third most-awarded film in Academy history - and tied it with two other films with nine wins: Gigi (1958), and The Last Emperor (1987). Previously, only two other films had more wins: Ben-Hur (1959) (with eleven).

With its Best Picture win for the expensively-made film, producer Saul Zaentz became a multiple Oscar-winning producer over a span of twenty years with over twenty Oscars for his films: One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest (1975) (5), Amadeus (1984) (8), and The English Patient (9). With his win, Zaentz became a three-time Best Picture producer (his first and second wins were for One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest (1975) and Amadeus (1984)). He became the second person to have produced three Best Picture winners since 1951. Only two others were three-time Best Picture producer-winners: Darryl F. Zanuck and Sam Spiegel.

The other Best Picture nominees were: the Coen Brothers' violent, black, film-noirish comedy Fargo (a Working Title Films/PolyGram/Gramercy Pictures film with seven nominations and two wins - Best Actress and Best Original Screenplay), about a Minnesota car salesman whose kidnap/ransom plan goes awry, and who was investigated by a no-nonsense, heavy-accented Minnesota police officer (Frances McDormand), known for saying: "Oh, you betcha, yah." This film was the quirky Coen Brothers' most conventional film to date, thereby accounting for its critical and commercial success writer/director Cameron Crowe's romantic sports comedy Jerry Maguire (a Gracie Films/TriStar film with five nominations and one win - Best Supporting Actor) about an ultra-slick sports agent (Tom Cruise) who becomes morally transformed director Mike Leigh's soap-opera-ish British film Secrets & Lies (a CiBy 2000/Thin Man Films/October Films production with five nominations and no wins), a socially-realistic film about an adopted, black London optometrist who seeks out her biological mother director Scott Hicks' Australian/UK arthouse tearjerker film Shine (a Momentum Films/Fine Line Features film

 with seven nominations and one win - Best Actor) - a biopic about the adversities faced by disabled, musical pianist genius David Helfgott Anthony Minghella won the Best Director award for The English Patient, following the pattern that the Best Director Oscar is often awarded to the Best Picture director.

The only one of the five directors of Best Picture nominees who wasn't nominated for Best Director was Cameron Crowe. His replacement in the category was director Milos Forman for The People vs. Larry Flynt (a Phoenix Pictures/Ixtlan Productions film with two nominations and no wins) about the infamous, unrepentant pornographer and Hustler Magazine publisher. Three out of the four winners in the acting categories were first-time nominees. Australian actor Geoffrey Rush (with his first nomination) won the Best Actor Oscar for his star-making performance as talented but agonizingly-troubled, mentally-disabled Australian concert pianist David Helfgott who suffers a crippling nervous breakdown when pushed to the breaking point in Shine. The other Best Actor nominees included: Tom Cruise (with his second unsuccessful nomination) as sports agent Jerry Maguire in Jerry Maguire Ralph Fiennes (with his second unsuccessful nomination) as the title character - mortally-burned Hungarian Count Laszlo Almasy who flashbacks on his tragically-doomed love affair as a debonair romantic with married mistress (Scott Thomas) in The English Patient Woody Harrelson (with his first nomination) as First Amendment-protected, crippled, pornography publisher Larry Flynt in The People vs.

Larry Flynt director/star/writer Billy Bob Thornton (with his first nomination) as mildly-retarded, convicted murderer Karl Childers in the moving drama Sling Blade, Thornton's directorial debut film (with two nominations and one win - Best Adapted Screenplay for actor/director/writer Billy Bob Thornton) Frances McDormand (with her second nomination and first Oscar win) won the Best Actress award for her role as Marge Gunderson - a chatty, largely-pregnant, intrepid local police chief and homicide detective in a small-town in Minnesota, in Fargo . [Note: McDormand won the Academy Award for a performance directed by her nominated husband - Joel Coen. She became the second star to win Best Actress in a film directed by her nominated director-husband.

Some argue that she was the first, however, since Sarandon and Robbins, nominated in the previous year for Dead Man Walking (1995), were unofficial, live-in marital partners.] They were the fourth married couple to be nominated for the same film: (1) John Cassavetes and Gena Rowlands were nominated together (but neither won) for A Woman Under the Influence (1974), (2) Susan Sarandon and nominated-director Tim Robbins (her unofficial live-in husband) were nominated for Dead Man Walking (1995) (Sarandon won Best Actress), and (3) both Jules Dassin and Melina Mercouri were nominated (but neither won) for Never on Sunday (1960).

Note: Julie Andrews was nominated as Best Actress (without a win) for Victor, Victoria (1982) but her husband-director Blake Edwards wasn't nominated as director.] The other Best Actress nominees were: Brenda Blethyn (with her first nomination) as lonely, unmarried, self-pitying white factory worker Cynthia - the biological mother of a black daughter in Secrets & Lies Diane Keaton (with her third nomination) as sensitive, self-sacrificing, leukemia-stricken spinster Bessie in director Jerry Zaks' film of Scott McPherson's 1991 off-Broadway play Marvin's Room (the film's sole nomination) Kristin Scott Thomas (with her first nomination) as beautiful English newlywed Katharine Clifton - a cartographer's wife involved in a torrid, adulterous affair with 'the pre-English patient' in the unfolding story of The English Patient Emily Watson (with her first nomination) in her film debut as shy, religious Bess McNeill who sexually degrades herself for her paralyzed, oil-rigger husband's sake in writer/director Lars von Trier's Breaking the Waves (the film's sole nomination) In a surprise win, Cuba Gooding, Jr.

(with his first nomination) won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his performance as Cruise's faithful client with a memorable line of dialogue ("Show me the money") - a black football player for the Arizona Cardinals named Rod Tidwell in Jerry Maguire. [Gooding's award made him the third black actor to win the Best Supporting Actor award - the others honored before him were Louis Gossett, Jr. for An Officer and a Gentleman (1982), and Denzel Washington for Glory (1989).] The other four Best Supporting Actor nominees included: William H.

Macy (with his first nomination) as hapless, indebted, dim-witted car salesman and failed blackmailer Jerry Lundegaard in Fargo Armin Mueller-Stahl (with his first nomination) as Geoffrey Rush's domineering, Holocaust-surviving father Peter Helfgott in Shine Edward Norton (with his first nomination) as altar boy - accused murderer Aaron/Roy in director Gregory Hoblit's feature film debut and thriller Primal Fear (the film's sole nomination) James Woods (with his second nomination) as evil Southern racist Byron De la Beckwith in director Rob Reiner's story of the 1963 murder of civil rights leader Medgar Evars and its subsequent trials, Ghosts of Mississippi (with two nominations and no wins) In another surprise win, Juliette Binoche (with her first nomination) won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar - she was the only nominated actor or actress in The English Patient to win the Oscar - for her performance as Hana, the fragile, good-hearted, and sympathetic Canadian nurse who cares for the dying, burn victim WWII patient (Ralph Fiennes).

The four other Best Supporting Actress nominees were: Joan Allen (with her second nomination) as a prim Puritan wife named Elizabeth Proctor who is a wrongly-accused witch in a film version of Arthur Miller's 1953 stage play The Crucible (with two nominations and no wins), about late 17th century witchcraft hunts and trials by director Nicholas Hytner the acknowledged and favored nominee - Lauren Bacall (with her first nomination) as Streisand's vain and narcissistic mother and faded glamour queen Rose in producer/star/director Barbra Streisand's romantic comedy The Mirror Has Two Faces (with two nominations and no wins) Barbara Hershey (with her first nomination) as manipulative and opportunistic Madame Serena Merle who manages to steer co-star Nicole Kidman into a disastrous marriage in director Jane Campion's Portrait of a Lady (with two nominations and no wins) Marianne Jean-Baptiste (in a lead role) as young Yuppie Londoner Hortense who seeks out her birth parents after the death of her adopted parents in Secrets & Lies.

[Marianne Jean-Baptiste was the first black British actress to be nominated for an Oscar.] The Best Documentary this year was When We Were Kings, a chronicling of the 1974 world heavyweight championship bout ("Rumble in the Jungle") in Zaire between Muhammad Ali and George Forman. Oscar Snubs and Omissions: Black actor Eddie Murphy was denied a nomination for his role as shy, overweight professor Sherman Klump (and many others) in The Nutty Professor. In a comeback supporting role, Debbie Reynolds was neglected as Beatrice in Mother. Ron Shelton's sports romantic comedy Tin Cup with Kevin Costner and Renee Russo was completely unnominated, and Baz Luhrmann's William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet had only one nomination (unsuccessful) - Best Art Direction.

One of the greatest nature documentaries ever made, MicroCosmos, was puzzlingly completely overlooked for Best Documentary, Best Editing and Best Cinematography (for its revolutionary lensing of microscopic point-of-view of insects.) Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet (with four unsuccessful nominations, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design, and Best Dramatic Score) was lacking nominations for Best Director, and performance nominations for Kenneth Branagh as Hamlet, Julie Christie as Gertrude, Kate Winslet as Ophelia, and Derek Jacobi as Claudius. John Sayles' Lone Star (with a great performance by Kris Kristofferson as a Satanic border-town sheriff) was recognized with only one nomination, Best Original Screenplay (losing to Fargo ), and Doug Liman's Swingers went nomination-less. Courtney Love's supporting role as Althea Leasure Flynt was bypassed in the recognition given to The People Vs. Larry Flynt. William Macy might have fared better if nominated for Best Actor instead of for a supporting role, when compared to co-star Frances McDormand, who won for a leading role.

Danny Boyle's UK film Trainspotting about a heroin addict was able to garner only a single nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay (losing to Sling Blade), and Mel Gibson was unnominated for his performance as ex-fighter pilot Tom Mullen in search of his kidnapped son in Ron Howard's crime thriller Ransom. Joe Pantoliano was neglected for his role as Jennifer Tilly's psychotic mobster consort Caesar in the lesbian noir Bound. Kate Winslet was un-nominated for her role as ostracized Sue Bridehead for expressing her forbidden love for her cousin Jude in Thomas Hardy's adaptation, Jude. Noah Taylor was under-rated for his performance as teenaged, emotionally-damaged pianist David Helfgott (also played as an adult by Oscar-winning Geoffrey Rush) in the biopic Shine. Tony Shalhoub was unrecognized for his role as mid-50s Italian chef and restaurant co-owner Primo in Big Night, and Harry Belafonte was un-nominated for his supporting role as Depression-era black mobster Seldom Seen, memorable in a scene in which he disagreed with Marcus Garvey's 'Back-to-Africa' movement, in Robert Altman's Kansas City (with no nominations).

And Meg Ryan was bypassed for her role as tough Gulf War Captain Karen Walden in Courage Under Fire, as was Catherine Keener for her role as a neurotic 30-yr. old single New Yorker struggling with loneliness in Walking and Talking.

Black actors and actresses who have won Oscars 7 | 18 Cuba Gooding Jr., Best Supporting Actor - 1997 Cuba Gooding Jr. made history as the youngest African-American male actor to win an Academy Award at age 29.

He took home the award at the 1996 Oscars for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Rod Tidwell in "Jerry Maguire." REED SAXON/AP Photo Academy Awards Best Supporting Actor Django Unchained (2012) The Most Best Supporting Actor Nominations (and Wins): Four actors have received four Best Supporting Actor nominations, although only two of them won subsequent awards. The two actors with the most Best Supporting Actor nominations (with no wins) include Arthur Kennedy and Claude Rains.

Actors Winning at Least One Statuette in Both the Lead and Supporting Categories: Six actors have won acting awards in both the lead and supporting categories: Jack Lemmon, Best Supporting Actor (Mister Roberts (1955)), Best Actor (Save the Tiger (1973)) - the first! Robert DeNiro, Best Supporting Actor ( Gene Hackman, Best Actor ( The French Connection (1971) ), Best Supporting Actor ( Unforgiven (1992) ) Kevin Spacey, Best Supporting Actor (The Usual Suspects (1995)), Best Actor (American Beauty (1999)) - his only two career nominations (so far) Denzel Washington, Best Supporting Actor (Glory (1989)), Best Actor (Training Day (2001)) Victor McLaglen was the first performer to be nominated for a Best Supporting Oscar (for The Quiet Man (1952) ) after having already won the Lead Performance Oscar for The Informer (1935).

Posthumous Winner: The only actor to win a posthumous acting Oscar in a supporting role was Australian actor Heath Ledger for his role as The Joker in The Dark Knight (2008). He was the second actor to win a posthumous acting Oscar - the first was Peter Finch, who won Best Actor for his role as Howard Beale in Network (1976) . Multiple Nominations: No single performer has ever won two performing awards in the same year. There have been a total of eleven performers who are double nominees - that means that they have received two acting nominations in the same year. Three were actors and eight were actresses (wins are marked with *). (See the Best Supporting Actress section for eight actresses who have duplicated the feat.) Of the 11 performers (actors and actresses) who've been recognized with nods for two performances in the same year, seven of them ended up winning one of the trophies. Double nominees usually win in one category (i.e., double nominees Al Pacino and Jamie Foxx won as Best Actor, and Fitzgerald won as Best Supporting Actor - see below). In only one case, an actor (Barry Fitzgerald) was simultaneously nominated in two performance categories for the same film.

[The Academy would prevent this in future years by not allowing a double nomination for the same performance.] He was the only actor simultaneously nominated in both the Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor categories for the same film and performance: Barry Fitzgerald was nominated for both Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor* for Going My Way (1944) In a few instances, actors have been nominated for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor for different films in the same year. The two male actors who accomplished this feat were Al Pacino, and Jamie Foxx. Al Pacino was the first actor to be nominated for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor in two different roles.

And Jamie Foxx was the only African-American performer to have two Oscar nominations in one year: Al Pacino (Best Actor for Scent of a Woman (1992)* and Best Supporting Actor for Glengarry Glen Ross (1992)) Jamie Foxx (Best Actor for Ray (2004)* and Best Supporting Actor for Collateral (2004)) Multiple Wins for the Same Character: The only actor to win two Academy Award Oscars for the same performance or role: Harold Russell received the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his portrayal of a double-amputee veteran returning from WWII in The Best Years of Our Lives (1946) - his debut film Russell received an additional Special Honorary Oscar for the same performance "for bringing hope and courage to fellow veterans" The only time two actors have won Oscars playing the same character (Don Vito Corleone) in different films: Marlon Brando won Best Actor for his role as Don Vito Corleone in The Godfather, Part II (1974) Refusal to Accept Nomination: George C.

Scott in his third screen appearance in The Hustler (1961) received his second supporting nomination in 1962 - after his first nomination received in 1960 for Anatomy of a Murder (1959). (His first film was The Hanging Tree (1959).) He became the first actor to decline his Oscar nomination - in protest of fellow actors' practice of campaigning for awards, calling the awards demeaning and self-serving. When Scott received another Oscar nomination (and won) as Best Actor for Patton (1970) , he declined to accept the nomination and the award, because he did not feel himself to be in any competition with other actors, calling it a "meat parade." Film Debut Nominees/Winners of Best Supporting Actor Oscars: Only three actors have won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for their debut performance (in a feature film), while others received a nomination for a substantial role in a film debut (a sampling): John Garfield in Four Daughters (1938) (nomination) Robert Morley in Marie Antoinette (1938) (nomination) Sydney Greenstreet in (3) Haing S.

Gazzo (De Niro won) African-American (or Black) Notables: There have been seventeen nominations for black performers as Best Supporting Actor (with only four winners), divided amongst 14 different performers: # Barkhad Abdi Captain Phillips (2013) Only ten black performers have won the Oscar in the supporting category (four Best Supporting Actor, six Best Supporting Actress). Only four black actors have won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar: Louis Gossett, Jr. for An Officer and a Gentleman (1982) Denzel Washington for Glory (1989) Cuba Gooding, Jr. for Jerry Maguire (1996) Morgan Freeman for Million Dollar Baby (2004) Only fifteen awards have been won by African-Americans (or blacks) in both lead and supporting categories (four Best Actor, one Best Actress, four Best Supporting Actor, and six Best Supporting Actress). Jamie Foxx also set a record for being the first black to debut as a nominee in two categories in the same year, lead and supporting, for Ray (2004) and Collateral (2004).

Morgan Freeman's Best Supporting Actor win for Million Dollar Baby (2004), paired with Foxx's Best Actor win for Ray (2004), was the first time that African-American actors won in their respective categories in the same year.

 Rican-born Jose Ferrer was nominated as Best Supporting Actor for Joan of Arc (1948) Shortest and Other Oddities: The shortest performance time to win a Best Supporting Actor Oscar was for Anthony Quinn for about nine minutes as Paul Gaugin in Lust for Life (1956).

[The shortest performance to win an Oscar ever was in the Best Supporting Actress category: Beatrice Straight won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for less than eight minutes of screen time in Network (1976) , with only 8 speaking parts (of approx. 260 words). (Runner up: Judi Dench for about ten minutes of screen time as Queen Elizabeth in Shakespeare in Love (1998), with 14 speaking parts (of approx. 446 words).)] The only diminutive dwarf actor ever nominated for Best Supporting Actor: Michael Dunn was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for Ship of Fools (1965) The only Best Supporting Actor winner (and male actor) for a mute performance (in the sound era): John Mills for his performance as the town idiot Michael in Ryan's Daughter (1970) Gig Young (with real-name Byron Barr) was the only Oscar winner, Best Supporting Actor for They Shoot Horses, Don't They? (1969), who adopted his screen name from the role he played in The Gay Sisters (1942) as "Gig Young".

 Actress win) Jake Gyllenhaal as Best Supporting Actor for Brokeback Mountain (2005), and Maggie Gyllenhaal as Best Supporting Actress for Crazy Heart (2009) The only brothers nominated for acting Oscars were: River Phoenix as Best Supporting Actor for Running on Empty (1988), and Joaquin Phoenix as Best Supporting Actor for Gladiator (2000) Two pairs of sisters have competed against each other (when nominated simultaneously) for the same Best Actress award: Joan Fontaine in Suspicion (1941) defeated sister Olivia de Havilland in Hold Back the Dawn (1941); de Havilland later won two Best Actress Oscars for her roles in To Each His Own (1946) and The Heiress (1949) Vanessa Redgrave for Morgan (1966) vs.

Lynn Redgrave in Georgy Girl (1966) - both lost to Elizabeth Taylor The only other sisters to have received acting Oscar nominations (supporting in this case): Meg Tilly for Agnes of God (1985) and Jennifer Tilly for Bullets Over Broadway (1994) Three Generations: 1948's Oscar-winning director John Huston directed both his father (Walter Huston) to a Best Supporting Actor Oscar and his daughter (Anjelica) to a Best Supporting Actress Oscar in respectively, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948) and Prizzi's Honor (1985) 37 years later. [Huston won two Oscars for writing and directing the 1948 film.] This remarkable feat made the Hustons the first family with three generations of Oscar winners - Huston became the only director to have directed both his father and daughter to Oscar victories. Since Huston also received an acting nomination (supporting) for The Cardinal (1963), the Hustons are the only grandfather-father-daughter acting nominees in Oscar history.

In addition, this made the Hustons the only grandfather-granddaughter ever to win Academy Awards: Walter Huston, Best Supporting Actor winner for The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948) (directed by his son John Huston) Anjelica Huston, Best Supporting Actress winner for Prizzi's Honor (1985) (directed by her father John Huston) A win for Sofia Coppola for Best Original Screenplay for Lost in Translation (2003) made her part of the second family of three-generation Oscar winners (her father is a five-time winner and her grandfather, Carmine Coppola, won for musical score on The Godfather Part II (1974) ). Further connections can be made for the Coppolas - the only father-daughter-nephew grouping to win Oscars: Francis Ford Coppola, Best Director winner for Sofia Coppola, Best Original Screenplay winner for Lost in Translation (2003) Nicolas Cage, Best Actor winner for Leaving Las Vegas (1995) Cast Nominations: Fifteen films have received nominations in all four acting categories. With his two films in 2012 and 2013, director David O.

Russell was the first director to helm two movies (back to back too) that both achieved this feat: For Whom the Bell Tolls (1943) Johnny Belinda (1948) Silver Linings Playbook (2012) - dir. David O. Russell American Hustle (2013) - dir. David O. Russell Three films have had the entire cast nominated for awards: Sleuth (1972), with Best Actor nominations for Michael Caine and Laurence Olivier Give 'Em Hell, Harry! (1975), with a Best Actor nomination for James Whitmore Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966) , with various nominations for all four cast members, Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, George Segal, and Sandy Dennis Youngest and Oldest Best Supporting Actors: Nominees and Winners Note: The calculated time is from date of birth to the date of either (1) the nominations announcement, or (2) the date of the awards ceremony.

Youngest Best Supporting Actor Nominee Youngest Best Supporting Actor Winner Oldest Best Supporting Actor Nominee Oldest Best Supporting Actor Winner Oscar let downs - tribunedigital-chicagotribune Oscar let downs Stars win and then often can't live up to golden expectations November 16, 2007|By Los Angeles Times When he won the best actor Oscar for his role in "The Pianist," Adrien Brody surprised presenter Halle Berry with a long kiss. It was a moment that connected them in more ways than the locking of lips. It's been five years now, and the movie world still is waiting for Brody to find a role equal to his 2002 star turn. Brody, who co-stars alongside Owen Wilson and Jason Schwartzman in Wes Anderson's "The Darjeeling Limited," is not alone. The Oscar landscape is full of actors and actresses who reached the pinnacle of their profession when they captured the golden statuette -- and then find themselves faced with the pressure to follow with an equally brilliant performance. Public opinion can be swift -- and cruel -- when that doesn't happen.

"Winning an Oscar puts a huge spotlight on your career," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of the box-office tracking company Media by Numbers. "It raises expectations, and suddenly what an Oscar implies is that you are the best of the best. ... It creates the expectation that you will do Oscar-worthy work." Berry would know. She won best actress for 2001's "Monster's Ball," only to follow that a few films later with the likes of "Catwoman" and "Perfect Stranger." The critics pounced and seemed to relish the opportunity to shred both movies and Berry's performances. She has been struggling to find her footing since, but don't count her out yet -- there is early awards season buzz building for her new movie, "Things We Lost in the Fire." Then there's Helen Hunt, so charming as the waitress who deals with the irascible Jack Nicholson in "As Good as It Gets"; she has yet to recapture the glow of that 1997 performance. Kevin Spacey, who delivered an Oscar-winning performance as a suburban father in a midlife crisis in the 1999 black comedy "American Beauty," also has had trouble reaching those heights again.

One of the biggest puzzles is Cuba Gooding Jr., who won the Academy Award for best supporting actor for the 1996 film "Jerry Maguire." "This is a guy who, in 'Jerry Maguire,' set the world on fire," Dergarabedian said. "He stole the movie." But follow-up films such as "Snow Dogs," "Boat Trip" and, most recently, "Daddy Day Camp" have left his fans scratching their heads. Peter Rainer, film critic for the Christian Science Monitor, said some actors, such as Joe Pesci, never demonstrated great acting range. "'My Cousin Vinny' and 'Goodfellas' and 'Raging Bull,' he's perfect in all of them," Rainer said. "But there isn't a whole lot of difference [among them]. He's still sort of playing the same guy in different variations." He said some actors simply wear out their welcome in doing characters that are all too familiar.

An example, he said, was Olympia Dukakis, who won best supporting actress for "Moonstruck" but who plays "the same kind of role over and over again in lesser movies." Some actors who find themselves in the role of a lifetime have difficulty migrating to other great film roles, film historian and critic David Thomson said. "Louise Fletcher won for 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest,' but she never really followed through," Thompson said. "I think sometimes the parts win Oscars. They are the kind of parts that if you do well in it, somebody is going to win the Oscar for it." Dergarabedian suggested that perhaps being nominated for an Oscar might be better for an actor's career than winning. He noted that Brody won his Oscar for a small film, and that any expectations for him to carry a movie might be unfair. "He never postured himself as 'I'm the best actor winner in a $100 million hit,'" Dergarabedian said. "He won for a small film." - - - Oscar, and then what?

hides his Best Supporting Actor Oscar - won in 1996 for his role in 'Jerry Maguire' - in a theatre room at his Los Angeles home. CAPTION: Cuba Gooding Jr. I've had ups and downs, but it afforded me respect. No matter if I slid or how bad those other movies I made, I can still say, 'Yeah, but I got an Oscar Related articles The 45-year-old actor won the Best Supporting Actor trophy in 1996 for his role in sports comedy 'Jerry Maguire', and it is so precious to him he keeps it under lock and key at his Los Angeles home. When asked where the Oscar is, he replied: "Under protection. In my theatre room." Cuba admits his career has not reached the same heights since, but it is down to his personal choice of roles. He added to the New York Post newspaper: "My post-Academy Award years weren't great choices for me as an artist. It's been a problem. Caught in the trappings, that private-jets way of life, I had to deal with my stubbornness and the fame hype. I picked low-budget films. "I've had ups and downs, but it afforded me respect.

No matter if I slid or how bad those other movies I made, I can still say, 'Yeah, but I got an Oscar'." Cuba - who is currently starring in stage show 'The Trip to Bountiful' in New York, where he was brought up - also explained where his unusual name came from. He said: "Legends float around about my background. My grandfather, a sea merchant in Cuba, came here, drove a cab, got a nickname instead of Dudley, and so, I, too, became 'Cuba.'

Until one night he questions his purpose. His place in the world, and finally comes to terms with what's wrong with his career and life. Recording all his thoughts in a mission statement Jerry feels he has a new lease on life. Unfortunately his opinions aren't met with enthusiasm from his superiors and after dishonorably being stripped of his high earning clients and elite status within the agency Jerry steps out into the sports business armed with only one volatile client (Cuba Gooding Jr.) and the only person with belief in his abilities (Renée Zellweger) with the impossible task of rebuilding what he once had.

Along the way he faces the harsh truths which he'd ignored in the past and a host of hardships that he'd never faced before. Written by Hax_9 Everybody loved him... Everybody disappeared.

See more » Quotes Agent Seeks Something Higher -- Possibly Cruise's Best Film 31 August 2007 | by classicalsteve (Oakland, CA) – See all my reviews At the 1997 Academy Awards, host Billy Crystal referred to the characters played by the five Best Actor nominees (of which Tom Cruise was one) as being "a burned guy, a mentally-challenged guy, a mentally-abused guy, a paralyzed guy, and an agent. And four out of the five are treatable." Of course Crystal was jokingly referring to the Agent as being beyond help. Among the figures of sports and entertainment, agents are often regarded as the necessary evil of the industry often with reputations as being the sleaziest of VIP's, just-above used car salesmen. Their antics which require a high-level of tough negotiations are sometimes seen as money-gouging and materialistic. In the film "Jerry Maguire", Tom Cruise decides to wear the shoes of a sports agent and walk around in them for just over two hours. "Who am I, and what am I doing?" Jerry Maguire asks when he realizes his sports agency, SMI, tries to cover up the darker aspects of professional sports.

His answer is inspiring, transcendent, and detrimental. He mistakenly writes down his inspired thoughts and submits them to his colleagues for suggesting the agency concentrate better on fewer clients. For his inspiration, he loses his place at his agency and many of his highest-paying clients to his rival Bob Sugar. Subsequently, he also loses his attractive but shallow fiancé. Maguire is forced to try and live his dream of being more caring and receptive towards the needs of his clients rather than just being there to get a slice of his athlete/clients' multi-million-dollar paychecks. In a particularly poignant sequence, he retains his client Frank "Cush" Cushman who is a leading contender in the NFL draft through a handshake with his father, played by Beau Bridges. However, on draft day, he learns through an unexpected phone call that his rival Bob Sugar, through deception, convinced Cushman to sign with him instead. Now, Maguire has retained only Tidwell, and he must create his new agency from the ground up with only a single client as his starting point. So the question asked of the movie is: Can a sports agent find a more meaningful, possibly spiritual, life and still acquire the high-paying clientèle?

And maybe even more to the point, can an agent make a difference beyond just being a high-powered money negotiator? "Jerry Maguire" is a thoroughly entertaining riches-to-rags-to-transcendence story of a fantasy sports agent trying to find a deeper purpose to an otherwise materialistic existence. The film works at almost all levels, particularly because of the dynamism of Tom Cruise and Cuba Gooding Jr. in an Academy Award-winning performance, playing the only client willing to stay with Maguire. Part of the story is Maguire's journey from the purely material to a deeper and more-satisfying existence. Rod Tidwell (Gooding), wide receiver for the Cardinals, is a strange opposite to Cruise but has a similar problem. Tidwell is a devoted father and husband, emotionally involved with his family but does not quite give that same heart on the football field. The story becomes about both characters finding something deeper in their place in the world, Gooding giving what he gives to his family to his team, and Cruise giving to his clients and co-worker/lover Dorothy Boyd his love and attention. Renee Zellweger plays Dorothy Boyd in a passionate and sensitive performance that will definitely bring tears.

Zellweger's son becomes an important character and also an inspiration to Cruise to find the deeper and more sensitive part of himself. In the materialistic world of late 20th-century America, "Jerry Maguire" is a breath of fresh air. A rare story produced by the money-obsessed film studios about the dangers of losing oneself for the sake of self-promotion and monetary gain. An interesting statistic has emerged of late regarding a high number of American businessmen on their deathbeds who begin regretting the direction and purpose of their lives. "Jerry Maguire" offers an alternative, although probably few in his position would find the wisdom to change course. But since you can't take it with you, life is about what you leave behind. 30 of 37 people found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes FootballNation.com | Article = touchdown) Football is not the main focus of "Jerry Maguire," but it does play a major role in the film, primarily in the form of Cuba Gooding Jr. We'll get to him in a little while. But first, let's take a look at the film's leading man, Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise.

Yeah, what can you really say at this point? His image sure has changed somewhat since "Jerry Maguire" was released nine years ago. Back then, he was Hollywood's golden boy; today, people think of him as some sort of Scientologist nutjob who likes to jump up and down on Oprah's couch while talking about Katie Holmes when he's not bashing Brooke Shields for her decisions made during pregnancy. But at the end of the day, he's still a decent actor who can really rise to the occasion when he's given a good script, as he did when he went toe-to-toe with Best Actor Dustin Hoffman in Barry Levinson's 1988 film "Rain Man." Cameron Crowe's "Jerry Maguire" not only elicits one of Cruise's best performances, it also lets him play one of the often-forgotten figures in the realm of professional athletes: the sports agent. The film gives a fascinating glimpse at what life is like for someone who negotiates contracts for pro sports figures and offers a look at what might happen if that person suddenly developed a conscience (generally considered a no-no in the biz).

After writing a memorandum that suggests his firm focus harder on the individuals they represent by taking on fewer clients, Cruise's title character is fired. He then strikes out on his own, supported only by loyal coworker Dorothy Boyd (Zellweger) and the one client who stands by him, mouthy Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rod Tidwell, who is played with manic energy by Gooding. Things are further complicated when a would-be client – college quarterback and anticipated No. 1 draft pick Frank Cushman (Jerry O'Connell) – signs with a rival agent after his father (Beau Bridges) decides to renege on a (get this) handshake agreement with Maguire. (The handshake deal is perhaps the biggest hole in the script, as it's absolutely unfathomable that a professional agent would actually expect such an agreement to be signed, sealed and delivered.) Gooding, who won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role, is outstanding as Tidwell, a diminutive receiver who puts up decent numbers but is hardly the second coming of Jerry Rice (which apparently is what he fancies himself).

He brings electricity to every scene he's in, especially the ones involving Tidwell and Maguire, who initially grate on each other's nerves but ultimately form a lasting friendship. Gooding's Academy Award was richly deserved and even somewhat predictable, given the fact that his line "Show me the money!" became the catchphrase of 1996. Admit it– you've said it, too. Most of the actual football comes at the end of the film, when the Cardinals are in position to make the playoffs if they can beat the Dallas Cowboys during a "Monday Night Football" broadcast. All of it, however, focuses on Gooding, who shows an uncanny ability to mimic a showboat athlete with pinpoint precision. The film features cameos by the "MNF" team of the day – Al Michaels, Frank Gifford and Dan Dierdorf – as well as then-Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman, then-New England Patriots gunslinger Drew Bledsoe (who smirks through his one speaking line) and other figures from the world of sports. One of the best things about "Jerry Maguire" is that it works on two levels.

On the one hand, any guy could enjoy watching it with his buddies, since Gooding's antics are often laugh-out-loud funny. But since there's also a love-interest component to the film that focuses on the budding relationship between Maguire and Boyd, said guy also would feel more than comfortable taking in this flick with his wife, his girlfriend, or the chick that he just picked up at the local dive. Really, what more can you ask for? Behind-the-Scenes Cold, Hard Football Facts: Shortly before the release of "Jerry Maguire," Detroit Lions head coach Wayne Fontes was fired. His brief role was not cut from the final edit of the film. Sports Illustrated's Rick Reilly has a cameo as a sportswriter holding a camera who's standing behind Maguire as Tidwell stands up after being "hurt" near the end of the movie. The American Film Institute has ranked "Show me the money!" as the 25th-greatest movie quote of all time. On Jan.

28, 1996 – the year "Jerry Maguire" was released – the Dallas Cowboys won their third championship in four years, defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers, 27-17, in Super Bowl XXX at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, Ariz. The Arizona Cardinals went 4-12 in the 1995 season that preceded the Cowboys' Super Bowl victory and 7-9 in the 1996 season. "Monday Night Football" debuted on ABC in 1970 with Howard Cosell, Keith Jackson and "Dandy" Don Meredith doing the broadcast. Michaels has been the play-by-play man since 1986. Gifford began with "MNF" in 1971 and did his last color commentary for the show in 1997. Dierdorf was part of the broadcast team from 1987 to 1998.

Writer/director Cameron Crowe, who worked as a teenaged journalist at Rolling Stone magazine, cast musician Glenn Frey (best known for his work in the wussy corporate-rock band The Eagles) as the Cardinals' owner in "Jerry Maguire." But the pair's film connection didn't end there. In the 2000 movie "Almost Famous," inspired by his Rolling Stone days, Crowe modeled one of the main characters – Russell Hammond, leader of the fictitious band Stillwater – after Frey.
