because his work is about as overblown as the award's namesake, Cecil B. DeMille. Don't get me wrong, Harrison Ford has a nice screen presence and certainly doesn't come across as being an egotistical asshole or someone who's real wrapped up in himself. I just don't think he can act to save his life, and when he tries, it doesn't seem to work.I think Ford's success is more due to the appeal of his own personality than any actual acting ability. I haven't seen nearly as many of his movies as the average person probably has, but his overacting in films like Witness, Frantic, and Return of the Jedi has always stuck in my mind. He was especially horrible in Frantic. Arggh!
