On the contrary I thought Kline's over-the-top comic performance was a great surprise after seeing him do only heavy dramas until that time - many of us had never witnessed him on stage in sort of similar roles (On the Twentieth Century).Big Magilla wrote:Kevin Kline is a fine actor but I didn't like him at all in A Fish called Wanda. Dean Stockwell in Married to the Mob was my choice in 1988.
Voted for a rare comic performance with Joe Pesci and Martin Landau right behind.
Ralph Fiennes should have won in 1993. And yes Edward Norton should have won in 1996 and Burt Reynolds in 1997.
Washington, Palance, Hackman, and Spacey were the best of the lots nominated in their year of win.
