Samuel Jackson was an A lister. In his younger days, he leads, now he supports. He's 70 ish so it's understandable.

You are just making my point for me.

How many leading roles did Samuel L Jackson have in his younger days since you said A lister= A leading man?

Have you even gone through his filmography at all? undecided

My friend, please do a quick google search on the word "A list actor" and you'll get buzz words like bankability, being famous, in demand: and not "leading man".

You're right, I got it mixed up.

Your math didn't correspond to your earlier assertions but ironically, it was relatively correct.

To become a leading man, you'd have to be very bankable, which automatically puts you in the A list, but being an A lister doesn't guarantee you a leading man role in movies. If you want, I can give you examples of A list actors that mostly support rather than lead films.

It's becoming frustrating. He knows he's wrong but instead of admitting he goofed, he'd rather dig himself deeper into a hole he has zero chance of getting out of.

At the time of the nominations, they were. Denzel and Whittaker were a big deal in the African-American community back in the day.
Denzel i might agree but Forest wasn't even in the stratosphere compared to Will Smith...
Will Smith has been a household name from his Rapping days & Fresh Prince of Bel-air

Will Smith popularity has surpassed him, but once upon a time in Hollywood, Forest's name had more clout than Will Smith's.

Infinite; 1/4 star.

Is there any original idea in this infinite? undecided

Michael Bay esque car chases.
Marvel's leather pants combat.
The all too familiar villain who hates humanity.
Nolan style exposition.

Regardless of the above, it's the incoherent plot that's the most annoying: more so than Ejiofor's ham it up acting.

This is one of those films that they use to launder money; that I'm sure off.

When you say "ham it up acting" what do you mean?

Of course that was before Smith came up..
Smith rose to the top in 90s as a household name...
Forest whilst a good actor was & has never been a global star like Will Smith is.

I never said he was. I said, within the African-american community back in the day, Forest Whitaker's name had more bite than Will Smith's.

How does being popular in the African American community(whatever that means)
translate to winning Oscar's?....

You gotta be special kind of obtuse, no offence, if you don't know that America is very multi-racial/multi-ethnic. There are The Latinos, the Puerto Ricans, The Afro Caribbeans, The Hispanics, The Chicanos, the African-Americans, Italian Americans, Irish Americans, etc. These groups/communities exert social influences to some extent, part of these social influences extend to the Oscars, seeing as Oscars is based in America, organised by Americans, organised in America, held in America, hosted by Americans, and most of all, Hollywood centric.

I'll no longer talk about this again, it's not worth the headache.

You are assuming, and you would be wrong.
You made a comment about Forest beating Will Smith to the Oscars because of some special African American popularity which is plain BS and I'm calling you out on that...
You will no longer talk bout it cause you were wrong and i wanted to you prove it but instead you went on some weird racial conspiracy nonsense...
