That's not to say that I don't think Rockwell didn't deserve to win it for this movie, as he was fantastic in his portrayal of a troubled and violent cop, but in a way I think it's also to make up for not giving him that nomination for Seven Psychopaths. Like, seriously, watch Rockwell in Seven Psychopaths and tell me how he DOESN'T, at the very least, deserve a nomination.

Hell, he was even snubbed of a NOMINATION. You don't know how fucking great this guy was. Having said that, I felt that Rockwell was snubbed of an Oscar for his performance in Seven Psychopaths. There's very few actors I can say that for, at least in my own case. He's one of those guys that I can watch in absolutely anything and I would be fine watching it because Sam Rockwell is in it. The thing about Sam is that, regardless of what type of role he has to play, he always delivers consistently great performances, even if the movie ends up being absolute shit. Sam Rockwell isn't at that truly elite level, but he's only a few slight notches below that. And I really don't mean this as an insult, because I'm comparing him to, say, someone like a Daniel Day-Lewis, whose dedication to his craft and the characters he inhabits have made him the best I've ever seen. I don't wanna say this without sounding like I'm insulting him, but he's also not one of the best actors I've ever seen. Sam Rockwell is one of my favorite actors, personally. I always seem to start these reviews with a bit of an aside and this aside will focus on Sam Rockwell.
