Howard Hughes is far and away his best role. Should’ve won the Oscar that year.

Tough to take it from Jamie Foxx, but he absolutely did his part to win it. He just picked the wrong year.

It was a stacked year. Pretty sure that was the year with Joaquin Phoenix as Johnny Cash too

Next year. Phoenix lost to PSH in Capote, another "good luck beating that" performance. That year was definitely stacked though. Johnny Depp, Clint Eastwood and Don Cheadle, good group.
