I love Nicholson too and I realize that his performance in the Departed was not nearly one of his best. I need to rent Terms of Endearment and Five Easy Pieces, have not seen them in ages and so loved them both, especially the restaurant scene in Five Easy Pieces.

So I was off by a decade, huh? Guess that means he only has three years to keep the string going...I was thinking As Good As It Gets was 2000...well this new movie he is making with Morgan Freeman sounds promising - is listed as a comedy adventure...

So John Wayne did win an Oscar, wonder who I am thinking of who did not? Any ideas...

Cary Grant never won a competitive Oscar. There's one. If you want to take it by nominations with Nicholson you can even bo back to the 1960s as he was nominated for Easy Rider.

John Wayne won with the patch on his eye.. True Grit. He mentioned if he knew "that is what it took" he would have put a patch on LONG BEFORE.

I think Nicholson in As Good as It Gets was excellent ..also The Shining (but it is scary,,, or I recall it the one time I saw it)
