Classic Film Guide

Unforgiven (1992)

Though I personally prefer watching his spaghetti Westerns, it was great to see Eastwood finally get Oscar recognition. A replay of two years prior (ala Costner and his Western), Clint received the Director and Producer (Best Picture) Oscars while losing the Best Actor award on these, his only Academy Award nominations! But his Best Actor loss was just bad timing, he was up against Pacino who won his only Best Actor Oscar on his seventh attempt for Scent of a Woman (1992). Al was also up for the Best Supporting award that year for Glengarry Glen Ross (1992), which ironically he lost to Gene Hackman from this film. The film received a Screenplay Writing nomination as well. #98 on AFI's 100 Greatest Movies list. Added to the National Film Registry in 2004.
