During the period of last 2 decades there are only 3 ways to get a chance of winning Oscar for any promising Hollywood actor (actress). He (she) must play either a character of a homosexual (lesbian) facing troubles in life (who is most likely doomed to die at the end of the story), or a character of a mentally sick person (who is gonna die too in the majority of cases!), or simply concern a theme directly related to pseudo historical or completely fictions Holocaust issue taking place during WW2 or later. Didn't I forget to say that above all he (she) has to be of Jewish origin as well? Otherwise, there is almost no way for him (her) to get it, regardless of his (her) talent and potential!!! LuSefer
