He should have won. He engulfs his roles within himself and becomes the character. I know that they say DD Lewis does this also, but I have seen both, and Viggo wins hands-down.

Viggo is not a Hollywood-type - the rest of the nominees are. That alone endears me to him.

He should have won.

Viggo, you are an awesome actor, you choose your roles well. I look forward to seeing your career unfold. Your courage and dedication in Eastern Promises was amazing, and one of my favorite performances of all time. Rarely have I seen a glimpse of someone I longed to learn more about than Nikolai. I will continue to follow all the facets of your art.

He has a unique and captivating acting style in all his movies and I think he deserves more press for his art. What's with Jon Stewart just naming him as one of the best actors when all others received more. Maybe he's a conservative.

I think Viggo is great. Can anyone tell me who was the girl he brought to the OSCARS? Thanks.

I read that it was his neice Sydney. I think that is the sweetest thing ever.

Viggo is so talented in his movies, his art, his photography, his poetry, and everything that he touches. I think he deserved to win.

Viggo is a talented actor. His attitude towards work is simply admirable. Although it was hard to win the Oscar since it's getting incredibly competitive, a nomination is almost just as good. Viggo is frankly amazing.

Viggo is by far the most down-to-earth person in Hollywood. He is unaffected by fame and is REALLY talented. I read some of his poems and was amazed. His paintings and photos are equally excellent!

I admire him for the way he puts so much effort into knowing and portraying his roles; therefore I really believe he should have won that Oscar.

He is such a wise man and I look up to him- he is such an amazing role model in such a Paris Hilton infested generation.
