Imo, one of the biggest travesties in the history of the Academy Awards. Adolph Caesar (Sergeant Waters), nominated for "Best Actor in a Supporting Role" (1984). One of the best acting performances by an African American I can remember seeing. To be honest it was a strong group of nominees (Haing S. Ngor, winner (The Killing Fields), John Malkovich (Places in the Heart), Pat Morita (The Karate Kid) and Ralph Richardson (Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes).
