If you mean for best actor, most certainly not...

Edit: He got beat out by Al Pacino in Scent of a Woman... granted, it's a bit of a bigger stretch to portray a "cybernetic organism" than a blind guy, but I still think Pacino edges him out by a nose.

T2 was a great movie, but by NO MEANS did Arnold give an Oscar-worthy performance.

Gawd, Scent of a Woman was Pacino's WORST movie.

"Given Schwarzenegger's $15 million salary and his total of 700 words of dialog, that translates to $21,429 per word. "Hasta la vista, baby" cost $85,716."

What? I think you'd have to admit that Revolution was at least a little worse than Scent of a Woman...

There's a tidbit that'll shut a lot of people up! :)

And I thought T2 was a good movie, but that's a lot of dough...

If any of you have T2:Extreme and watched at least the beginning of it, you'll see that the opening scene of Terminator 2 cost more than the ENTIRE first film, Terminator 1.

Not a chance. While both were bad, Scent of a Woman was ANNOYING and bad. It get's the crap crown.

Arnold is a terrible actor. He doesn't deserve an award for anything until he gets some acting skills. I mean what's the point of giving an award to someone for delivering about a billion one-liners? The guy's career is a big muscular one-liner with an austrian accent.

What specifically, though? His irritability? His ass-like qualities? I kind of liked how he grew as a person through the movie...
