Will mark Wahlberg ever win an Oscar or should he?

Hey its Barlington here,


 The run up the Oscars are happening and with many fine films and some awful ones such as the Artist actually scratch that I have not watched I yet because there is too much hype much like every Oscar year they pick a movie out and pretty much gush about how good it is not too say its not good but just saying there were other movies our that were great in different ways for instance we hadthe hurt locker last year not that was a very informative film but did it deserve an Oscar I don’t think so it got an Oscar through content and having women director or this year with a film being black and white (the artist) its no longer judged on acting performances which is a shame because it deserved them but should the Oscars include to some degree a measure of sustainability. What I mean by this should the Oscars have to take into account a films gross profit and likeability from the public before deciding its out come now there are extremes to this view as you don’t want Twilight winning an Oscar or /High school musical but you what’s something that appeals to all the key demographic not just the arts critics turned film reviewers. Now back to the original argument does the Ex-rapper / boy band singer deserve an Oscar that being marky mark from new kids on the block. This answer is one which has nearly brought me to blows with my dad to the mere fact should a persons past effect how they do in the present and should the fact his records went multi platinum stop him from being a great actor.... I don’t think so what do you think? 

Yes he’s made some bad decisions these being obvious to everyone 'the happening' and the Italian job 'remake' both of which were bombs and awful movies to boot , but were those his fault no well yes he said yes to scripts but the script not the acting performance was bad, now mark Walberg has made some articulate film such as invincible and lovely bones and have been received well but he is the everyman I think a guy who is rock steady throughout a movie maybe not being the funniest or the smartest but being there to tee up the guy that is like is the recently awesome movie the fighter or the best remake ever the departed were he let Matt Damon and Leo Dicaprio take the limelight and so much like a winger in the football or a guard in football he lets the big playmakers do there thing while giving good performances in great movies that are received well by the public. Is it enough to be a good supporting actor all the time and not get the credit whereas it due and be given a statue where Sean penn has won twice after appearing in Fast times as a stoner .


All in All mark Wahlberg has a Barlington Seal of approval
