I'm talking about people who weren't nominated. Plus Samuel L. was not only in the wrong category, Landau was indeed better.

Counterpoint to that counterpoint: The Deer Hunter is flawed in many ways, including the ending, but still has major merit in other categories.

It's generally agreed upon that his Best Supporting Actor snub for Godfather Part II is considered one of the worst in the category's history, right?

It's actually about ethics in Sorkin journalism.
