Best Actor in a Supporting Role: Ben Kingsley, The Wackness

Despite the fact that “The Wackness” earned a measly $3 million at the U.S. box office, the retro coming-of-age comedy was the most buzzed about indie film of the summer -- and Sir Ben Kingsley, Best Actor Oscar winner for 1982’s “Gandhi,” garnered kudos for his role as Dr. Jeffrey Squires, a drug-addicted shrink who befriends his teenage patient (played by Josh Peck). As the immature therapist’s life begins to fall apart, fans, and critics alike, began to fall for Kingsley’s performance. Regrettably, the Academy failed to.

  Well, this year, as usual I will "snub" the Oscar presentation. The voters have no idea of art.

  I guess they couldn't decide whether it qualified as a make-under role.

  So what happened to Will Smith for 7 pounds? He was fantastic in that and I expected he would get a nod. I was really surprised to see he did not. What's up with that?

• Yes, it is one of the Olsen twins the movie was a nice reminder of the early nineties. And yes he looks like Harvey Keitel there.

  Color me wrong, but as all ready said: Looks like one of the olsen twins.. and all the hoop-la about the "kissing of old-older -- all right really old man- young female: who really cares? I do like Mr. Kingsley's work...Just not this pic. But who am I to judge..I am just one of many who pay their money to go see a movie and hope we get our worth>>>> :>( <<<<<
