Why he did that?


Why he gave up on his 2ND Oscar?!
He has to know he's better than a hundreds of Meryl Streep and Jack Nicklson
I hope he didn't let us down as fans and work again
You can win Mr Pacino you are the best please work hard on your old dream this time I'm sure you can

It was Marlon Brando who gave up his second Oscar. And it was his privilege to do so.



"What's this regarding, Mr. Grizzle?"

I think the OP meant that he gave up trying to pick more Oscar-baity roles once he won the first for Scent of a Woman.

Personally, I don't think he deserved the Oscar in 1993 but he should have won at least two during the 70's. It's a real shame that Al Pacino isn't a double Oscar winner.

Pacino was actually very good in the ff post Oscar:

-Carlito's Way
-The Merchant of Venice
-Donnie Brasco
-Insomnia
-Manglehorn
-Angels in America
-Phil Spector
-You Don't Know Jack

^Forget DOUBLE, he should've been a QUADRUPLE Oscar winner by now.

reply

No actor can be a quadruple oscar winner.

^Um, you need to do your HOMEWORK when it comes to OSCAR winners. KATHARINE HEPBURN won 4 during her career. And so far MERYL STREEP and DANIEL DAY LEWIS have 3, and could possibly win 4 before their time is up. All I'm saying is, MR. PACINO should have gotten his just due during his PRIME, and was cheated. I hope he can at least pull in a second win though, even if it's in a SUPPORTING role.

reply

Daniel Day-Lewis is the only who deserves morethan an Oscar from the multiple winners
Al Pacino deserves more than one

reply

I don't like predicting who will win oscars in the future but what makes you think Meryl Streep and Daniel Day Lewis will win a 4th Oscar?

^I NEVER said "for sure" they would, that's why I used the word POSSIBLY. Heck, it's possible any ACTOR or ACTRESS could do it.
