The Oscars are far more political than, perhaps, you realize. For instance, why did Al Pacino win best actor for his mediocre performance in Scent of a Woman? It's because he was nominated for best actor twelve times before this and hadn't even won once. So, they decided, out of fairness, to give it to him, that year, despite better performances by others...

nah, I think Al Pacino's performance in that movie was spectacular.
if my memory serves me correct, Bill Murray got shit out of an Oscar just a couple of weeks ago
I'm all for some Mystic River and Sean Penn though. They were both equally excellent performances. But Bill Murray definitely didn't get it. And he probably won't have another role that good as long as he lives (he is old as hell now, it's crazy).
