I'm kind've getting sick of everyone bitcing about how Johnny Depp and Bill Murray got robbed.
A.) Johnny Depp pretty much owes his entire mystique to Sean Penn.
B.) Bill Murray was robbed when he wasn't nominated for "Rushmore," which, in my opinion was a much better performance than the one he gave in "Lost in Translation."
C.) Ben Kingsley was the one who really got robbed. Go see "House of Sand and Fog" and watch the man pray to Allah to save the life of his son. It's so real, it can't even be called acting. The man is a fucking genius and as much as I love Sean Penn, Johnny Depp, and Bill Murray, Ben Kingsley blew them all away.

i agree with B, but you have to laugh inside everytime you picture bill in lost in translation: "well, a ring a ding ding."
