a Liam Neeson and Gary Oldman thread

These 2 guys are the most underated actors EVER

Underrated? Neeson has made a long career of leading-man roles, often in critically-acclaimed films. Oldman has been receiving handfuls of awards each year for over two decades.

I think you mean, these two guys are among the most respected actors of our time.

What awards has Oldman won?

What awards has Oldman won?

Well, I exaggerated a little. He's won a few awards, and has been nominated for quite a few others. He's won a couple BAFTAs, a Saturn award, a London Film Critcs award, among others.

Oldman is one of my favorite actors. I can't remember a role I did not like him in and he has played some of my favorite parts while being a bit out there. Great Actor.

I actually think Neeson's average quality of film has deteriorated significantly in recent years.

Except "Taken". That movie kicked ***. And so did he.

My favorite part of "Taken" is that Neeson's daughter's friend is regarded as a complete non-factor. No one cares if she lives or dies. No one even bothers to notify her parents that she's gone missing.

Don't let that get in the way of kick assing.

All that said, I actually want to see the A-Team. Something about the preview saying that the team "specializes in the ridiculous" won me over.
