- Jacquie,
- Of the three biopics, Malcolm X is definitely the best. I think
- Denzel, Al Pacino, and Clint Eastwood are gonna fight it out for best
- actor. The buzz on Malcolm X was a lot stronger when it first came out
- but the box-office response has been cold. Perhaps the public is a
- little tired of controversy, and Spike Lee does tend to toot his horn
- just a little too much. Anyway, Malcolm X might resurface come Oscar
- time. Al Freeman, Jr. is a contender. The academy might be unfamiliar
- with his other work and that might work against him. Other contenders
- for supporting include Gene Hackman(he'll win), Al Pacino(Glengarry),
- Nicholson(A Few Good Men), Chris O'Donnell(Scent), Tom Skerritt(River).
