Crowe was robbed for being a complete jerk. He's a great actor (3 nominations in 3 years), but you can't run around treating everybody like dirt. Most of the Academy voters aren't big name actors or directors. They're mostly behind the scenes people who get to see the big stars up close under stress. They're very unlikely to vote for a cad more than once in his/her career.

Something tells me he thinks he's the "Richard Burton type" ... but he just doesn't realize he's out-classed.
