11. Sean Penn Beats Bill Murray

It was one of the closest Oscar races in recent history. Perennial favorite Sean Penn turned in one of the best performances of his career as a grieving father with a dark past in Clint Eastwood’s Mystic River. Meanwhile, Penn was getting a lot of competition from first time nominee and the most beloved actor in Hollywood history (… prove me wrong), Bill Murray. Murray had received wide acclaim for his subdued, yet powerful performance in Sofia Coppola’s only good movie, Lost in Translation. The race was so close that when Penn accepted his award, he made sure to take a moment to acknowledge a noticeably let-down Murray’s performance.
