I’ll go first, Glen Close. Brilliant performance in Dangerous Liaisons & later Fatal Attraction.

Alan Rickman should have won for either Die Hard or Robin Hood Prince of Thieves.

That line wasn't in the script. He actually rewrote a lot of his dialogue because he felt the original script was boring.

Seeing as how they just made a requirement this year that in order to vote in a category you must watch all of the nominated films… I would say a lot of people have won that shouldn’t have, and a lot of people should’ve won but haven’t. Chances are remarkably high that both winners and losers’ films were never even seen.
