#7 – Al Pacino

Film: Scent of a Woman
Award: Best Actor 1992
It is always amazing when a good actor fails to get an Oscar for roles that he plays excellently and only gets it at a film that he did not do so well in. This is the story of Pacino. He did an amazingly good job in roles that he played in Godfather and its sequels. However, the same cannot be said about his prowess in the The Scent of a Woman. This particular Oscar could have sat more comfortably with Clint Eastwood for the film Unforgiven.
