Am I the only one that feels David Carrodine and Uma Thurman were robbed at Oscars?

OMFG HOLY MOTHER OF MARY IN HEAVEN I CANT BELIEVE IT WTF WHERE ARE MY SEDATIVES AAAAHHH
Am I the only one that is disgusted that neither David Carrodine or Uma Thurman were nominated for best actor and actress at the Academy Awards this year for Kill Bill Vol.2? They both pulled off such an exceptional performance that I am stunned neither of them even got a nomination this year.

What's going on in Hollywood these days man?

You're by yourself on that one.

I love Kill Bill and all but the acting was pretty sub par when you compare it to the other nominees.

the acting was better than $1,000,000 babies
 
Uma Thurman might have deserved a nomination, I dunno. Carradine? Yeah, if your name is Harry Knowles, then maybe Oscar and Carradine fit together well to you.

Don't listen to all the fancy-pants film snoots. The Oscars are dull as dirt and usually award movies that are the same.
 
What's so special about David Carrodine? He's done nothing in that movie but yaking and shooting with the guns.

This is what i called cheating!!! IMHO, this movie is supposed to use only the swords, surprising weapons, and different types martial arts. No guns are allowed in this movie. That's how i see it. The first movie is great. So, therefore, i felt cheated when they didn't continued the same style from the first movie.

Since it was such an ensemble movie, it would be hard to nominate anyone as a lead actor/actress other than Uma Thurman.

With that being said, I thought Kill Bill, Vol. 2 was an OUTSTANDING movie that was completely overlooked. Stylistically, it was amazing.

Carradine. Is it that damn hard to look it up before posting?

Personally, I did think he deserved a nomination, but not an Oscar, definitely.

Kill Bill isn't the kind of movie generally nominated. What was the last action movie that received any recognition from the Academy?

Most years an action movie gets awards for special effects or some such.

This year Spider-man 2 got an award for special effects, and House of FLying Daggers was nominated in several categories, inclduign, I believe, best director (can't recall the losers...).
