"Lost" had little to do with "Caddyshack," or in the comic masterpiece, "Groundhog Day."
You're being as unfair to him as those who compared Clint E's performance in "Unforgiven" to his spaghetti western efforts.
Follow Ups:
Hey, I like those movies. I like Bill Murray in those movies. Groundhog Day is another good example. Again, I don't see what he does that's so impressive.Ralph Fiennes in Spider does an excellent job. That's acting.
Benicio del Toro in 21 Grams does an excellent job. Again, acting.
Didn't like Mystic River, but Tim Robbins? Acting.
Bill Murray is like a good Keanu Reeves: we like Bill acting like Bill, while Keanu acting like Keanu is annoying. But he isn't doing much beyond that. That's not a bad thing, it's just true.

When Bill is doing the commercials, or when he's being introduced to folks, he is the Bill "of old."
But with Scarlet, in his room alone, talking to his wife, etc.---he plays off his persona. I can't believe you missed it. THAT's why he's being considered for an Oscar---he put a bit of himself out there. Not as much as, say, Marlon B did in "Last Tango..." but something similar. Hey, to think of it, maybe the "Lost" is a play on "Last." Two older guys, younger girls...
