Nicholson should have a best actor award for his performance in The Departed.

why award the worst perofmance in the movie? I mean, yeah, he was good, but not as good as everybody else.

That's disappointing to hear, The Departed is one of the many films I haven't seen yet(glad it's been put back into theatres for another couple weeks due to the nominations) and I thought Jack was back to his old ways. Just being himself again?

I'm not sure that Nicholson will ever be able to live up to his performances when he was younger. You have to remember that he used to snort MASSIVE amounts of cocaine while working. He's getting old now so he probably doesn't snort as much blow as he used to.
