Okay, so here is my beef with Gladiator. Crowe's portrayal lacked depth, creativity, passion. Any one of the Hollywood pretty boys could have played that part just as well. Now, I am no George Clooney fan, but his acting in O' Brother was incredible!That part was so out of his box and required so much skill that he overwhelmingly deserved the Oscar over "Crowe in a loin cloth." O' Brother was released the same year. Clooney won the SAG Best Actor award for it.

So, I've confessed. I simply can't forgive Hollywood for this oversight, and I project this anger onto Gladiator.
