@Chana Bayla Lol, Calm down kid. It's a random country name he threw

[@PublicEnemyMinusOne]

Edward has the same problem Leo had. Not winning an Oscar when he absolutely deserves it! One of my favourite actors of all time :)

[@vb2388]

Gary Oldman deserves an oscar more than any other actor who hasn't won..

[@PublicEnemyMinusOne]

VB MUTT I'd agree with that. But that doesn't mean Norton doesn't deserve one either.

[@vb2388]

***** of course...even Joaquin Pheonix...I still have no idea how he didn't win an oscar for The Master...no offence to DDL but Pheonix was way better...

[@PublicEnemyMinusOne]

VB MUTT I never see Joaquin in anything these days, That makes me sad. Either that or I'm just not looking in the right places.

[@DuncanUdaho67]

not every goddamn actor needs to win an oscar. people need to stop taking that shit so seriously. especially with all the politics behind it.

How does this man not have an Oscar yet?

In top 10 for me of favorites. Haven't seen a movie of his I thought was bad.

[@AizwellOfficial]

Edward Norton is the Gary Oldman of his generation when it comes to lack of recognition.

[@Vercingetorix.Fantasia]

Ha Kou well put. Oldman is amazing

[@jamesgross5954]

Ha Kou i agree and both of them can dranatically change themselves physically un recognizablefrom movie to movie.! Marty! Somebody must've thought it was white boy day!;Marty?Is it white boy day!? Na Man! It Aint White Boy Day!!my alltime favorite move True Romance! whats a drexel! lol Oldman nails that role it will be quite sometime if ever where you have so many famous actors in one movie,and oldman made an unforgettable performance!Norton played in a great movie where his oldman was taking him to prisoñ the next day andhe was spendibg one last night withhis friends and tieing up loose ends before he goes and his dad ends up taking him out of town to escape and shows a different ending ! i sure qish he would have got away.He plays always a good role. he played another one where he had a twin brother get shot

[@vperkv6554]

B.s., everyone knows how Norton is a great actor. I disagree.

[@Jay1988k]

AMAZING

[@MilkoOfficialChannel]

Ha Kou what lack recognition?

[@manguy2000]

Ed is like the anti-Hollywood. That's why I admire him. Doesn't compromise himself to fit in. I dated a woman who dated him for a while. He is super cool, down to earth.

[@heatherleens9661]

That joke about checking which Israeli supermodel's turning 18 was A+.

[@arjunjacob1505]

it was probably true because the joke/story was so specific. Most good jokes when told on the spot are generally true stories.

@Greg A Relax dibshit, it's just a minor expression or so, I wasn't really calling out for being a kid so my apologies also my comment was over 10 months ago plus I know Edward was born in 1969 but when it comes to his incredible acting ability, he's still a brilliant actor at any generation.

[@anetarrrrr]

My fav actor! Why he's so underrated?

[@maasirjaved6788]

Maybe because he's an arrogant narcissist.

[@PublicEnemyMinusOne]

Someone clearly watched Birdman too much. Edward is far from being an arrogant narcissist. How would you know? You know him personally? You have a couple of quotes to back that up? I don't think so.

[@Et-ww8sl]

dude, tbh it's so absurd to take some gossip things seriously

[@maasirjaved6788]

***** He basically messed up the incredible by coming up with his own script and forcing the director to follow it, one of the reasons why Marvel gave him the boot for the Avengers. He did the same thing with red dragon wrote scripts for himself. His huge ego is one of the reasons why the director of American History X swore to never work with him again. He sure is a great actor, but he is also kind of an asshole.

[@user-ww5nz9gi8i]

+it's satire bro wtf are you talking about? they're NOT even facts. Brett Ratner, Director of Red Dragon has been one of norton's friends since then. Check Brett Ratner's IG or twitter. He has uploaded a bunch of norton's pics and he will also finance Norton's future projects based on the NEWS. Tony Kaye, director of American History X was kinda a mess. The director screwed up the prodcution company of AHX. So the production company almost sued the director for his crazy shit. Don't bring all bullshit before checking the facts.

[@artygunnar]

I love how Jimmy Keeps trying to interrupt Edward, but Ed just keeps on trucking through, trying to tell his story

Cúchulainn Seán ó Maoilriain What? Are you projecting? I take it you are triggered because you are a white supremacist? I didnt claim to be a victim, didnt even say it was a good or bad thing, just saying what the original comment meaning appeared to be. I have a feeling you are missing a few braincells from being dropped on your head as a child?

Cúchulainn Seán ó Maoilriain Also why would you assume everyone is in BLM? Never even cared about that to be honest. You are a pretty crappy troll.

[@johnlloyddy7016]

Let's not forget his uncredited role in Kingdom of Heaven. The fact that he was able to convey emotions even though he was wearing an iron mask ought to have earned him an Oscar.

Leaves of Grass! He plays twin brothers.

[@SofiaSantos7]

I love this man... I think I watched every freakin movie of him and he is absolutely the greatest..and he takes his job so seriously which is often mistaken with arrogance but tbh I cannot understand how he isn't recognised... simply the best. Everyone was rooting for Leo to get his well deserved Oscar but, in my humble opinion, Ed deserves at least 4 Oscars.... Oh well

[@Nero-ox5tw]

Leo is one of those rare humans that just attracts people, he’s that guy that everyone wants to be friend with and he gets all the girls and good looks and he’s got a lot of talent and people just flock to him, but he’s also a nerd and a kind and intelligent person. Possibly the best combination. That’s why he’s so successful

[@AKMRULES48]

[@Mr.M1STER]

In terms of the avengers movies then I think so too.

[@yesterdayspromise87]

Marvel agrees actually. They knew he was the best. The only problem was he wanted to be SO involved in the writing process and also he wanted a bigger paycheck, and they could not afford him . NOW they can but at the time they only had like 2 big movies under their belt so they HAD to recast him with someone who would accept less money and not involve him self in the writing process. sad huh.

[@jk8301]

Joseph carr Sad indeed. I always try to picture norton in the new movies, but I've started to like Ruffalo aswell.

[@ytuser_3122]

Always have liked Edwards movies and his versatility in roles. I remember seeing Primal Fear and thinking "holy crap, this guy is awesome". It really was his break-out role, and I've loved most all the movies he's done since. I especially enjoy when he's cast in Wes Anderson movies. :D

[@HotStrange]

Love them both but Norton could out act Leo and just about anyone else. Completely underrated.

[@CricketAffanatic]

I agree I haven't seen a single film of his which he didn't knock out of the park

[@THOMAS2910able]

Now underrated but just not well liked because he shows up on sets having re written scripts

Yeah I've heard he's a pain to work with but he never seems to make a wrong choice?

[@rmanS2C]

HMMM not sure about leo

[@THOMAS2910able]

He is deffinitley better but Leo only chooses movies that people will remember , no other actor has a great movie streak like him , thats why he is percieved by many as the best actor living , thats why I can name every one of his projects for the last 20 years and I can only remember a fair amount of Nortons work , but I enjoy Norton on screen more than any other actor.
