I get that Robert De Niro is/was a great actor and gave a great performance in Raging Bull but for me, John Hurt was robbed of a much deserved Oscar for his stunning performance in The Elephant Man. Not sure how long it would have taken to apply that make up every day but I'm guessing it wasn't a quick process. The sensitivity in which he plays John (Joseph) Merrick was his greatest ever performance in my opinion and the man was a true great and will be sadly missed.

I love John Hurt, a superb actor who lifted every film in which he appeared, and The Elephant Man is, quite easily, my favourite film of 1980. But I am not sure I could take away Robert De Niro's Oscar, one of the most deserving ever in this category.
My favourite John Hurt performance is in Love and Death on Long Island, and he really deserved more than two measly nominations to represent his brilliant career.
