"The Ham-bone" finally wins Best Actor

Al Pacino finally wins Best Actor for the hammiest performance since George Arliss's "Disraeli"!! Of course we all know that he won because he had 7 losses before and they felt sympathy for him. Also, this was the year that Marisa Tomei caused an upset for winning Best Supporting Actress for "My Cousin Vinny".
