How the hell did the actor playing the husband not get nominated for Best Actor for this?

Just to get it out of the way, the movie is morbidly wonderful, and painful and beautiful, and Emmanuelle Riva deserves her nomination for showing her deterioration in such stark hard-to-watch terms. That said, after seeing the movie, THIS is the snub I'm most upset about. Jean-Louis Trintignant in this movie is just ... just so hard to watch. You feel so much sympathy for who he is and what he goes through to care for his wife and the hardships that entails, and he somehow manages to keep going until he just can't anymore.

He really should have been nominated for the role. It's irritating when Joaquin Phoenix is all, "The Oscars are crap," and gets nominated anyway. It takes away the opportunity for someone like Trintignant to get nominated when he completely deserves it.

*seethes*

Still, though. Now I'm sad. Thanks a lot, movie.
