Overlooked.
Well, if like me at 7.30am ET you were feeling a little disappointed to find that Jack Nicholson had been overlooked for an Oscar nomination, then this quote from Roeper might be a small consolation
As far as the acting categories go, Jack Nicholson has been so good for so long, and he's been nominated so many times, that the academy overlooked his strongest, darkest and most authentic performance in years, in "The Departed." He was ferocious and unforgettableRoeper has it so right but sadly the Academy got it so wrong. I'm glad he said what he said as at 7.30am my words were mostly 4 letters in length. If you want to have your say on this or anything else, you can always head into the forum
The Departed did receive 5 nominations - Best Picture, Best Director, Best adapted screenplay, Best editing and a Best Supporting Actor Nod for Mark Wahlberg.
Warner Bros have announced today that the film will be re-released, opening in 1300 US cinemas on January 26th to give those who haven't seen it, including Academy members, the chance to see the film as intended on the big screen. more details here

It was disappointing. I really thought he did a great job as Costello. When I walked out of the theater with my friends all the quotes we were exchanging were Costello lines, he left the biggest impresison

it is a castastrophe, Jack is an artist that the world will never see again. Personally the Oscars suck and the greatest actors are never really appreciated until they are dead and gone. Thank god for Jack because the world would be a duller place without him.

He should have at least be nominated and should have won but that is very dissapointing.
