    He lacks dramatic range. He's more a movie star than an actor. But who cares, he's played three iconic characters and has points from the original Star Wars which keeps sending him millions each year.

    Big deal what. You can ask similar questions on why Alfred Hitchcock and Stanley Kubrick never won Oscars for best directors. Winning the Oscar really doesn't mean a lot - it is at least better to win it than a Grammy.

    Damn, crazy that he's 71 now. I grew up watching him in Star Wars and Indiana Jones. Good stuff.

    Ya crazy to think he was already mid 30's in his first big movie. The days where full grown men played much younger characters. Now with the new SW trilogy, the trend is using real kids. I expect to see a bunch of zac efrons and selena gomez's runnning around being jedi.

    If Peter O'Toole doesn't have an Oscar, neither should Harrison Ford...
