You know what I say? Dramatic actors are a dime a dozen, but pulling off Jack Sparrow the way Depp did is an Oscar worthy performance!!!

Hurrah! Johnny Depp won the SAG award last night for Best Actor. If you'll check this thread on July 11th, I said his performance was worthy of an Oscar nomination. I say that any actor worth his salt can pull a Sean Penn hysterical scene, but lets see him do Jack Sparrow ala Johnny Depp. Now, Oscar, here comes JOHNNY!!!

I was very surprised that Johnny won, not disappointed, but surprised. I think he is very worthy in this performance but they usually vote for the more dramatic roles.

I'm glad he got it. He pretty much made the movie. I can't think of anyone who would have played that role as well as he did.

Like I said, Mamie, almost any actor can chew scenery, but a great actor doesn't need too. Did you ever see Dame Judy Dench in 'Mrs. Brown'. That lady can do more with a twitch of an eyebrow than Penn can do with his whole face screwed up pretending to cry.

I do have to say though that I thought that Tim Robbins was brilliant in Mystic River and truly deserved it. Just the way he walked and held himself. I so agree with just being able to feel the character with one look that they can give. And Johnny did have those in the movie!

I haven't seen it yet, just all the cuts promoting it. I did get the sense though that TR turned in a brilliant, understated performance.

And that's what I like, an understated performance. I like when an actor just has a look and you know exactly what they are feeling and thinking. That too me is great acting.

Did you ever see Joan Allen's face in The Crucible when she realized they'd caught her in the first lie she had ever told in her life, and that lie condemned her husband to death when she thought it was going to save him? I can't describe it, but it was something to behold.

Oh yes OG and I really think that Johnny Depp has it. Just watch his face in Edward Scissorhands.

Oh, I'm anxious to see if you notice what Mamie and I did. It is masterful acting at its best.

Unfortunately, my teacher started the movie at the point were Abigail and the others were running out of the court house. So I didn't get to see her face..

That is really too bad. Perhaps you can rent it and watch it one of these days. If you do, report, please.

WONDERFUL movie!! I adore Johnny Depp (yummy), and he managed to pull off a performance in this really cute story that was incredible. I wish I had watched this before Survivor Pearl Islands and I might have been a lot more into the pirate theme.
