Absolutely he deserved it. Finch was a remarkable actor and he was bang on in Network.To suggest he was simply 'playing crazy' in no way reflects the depth, intensity and authenticity of his performance in Network.

Without a doubt he deserved the Oscar. I can see the argument that Holden deserved it because he was sensational as well but Finch was genius. I have seen the movie so many times and every time I see Howard speak I get chills. I also love that until this year when Heath Ledger(who is another one of my favorite actors) won best supporting actor no one had ever won an Oscar posthumously since Finch.
Long days and pleasant nights. -

Deniro was totally robbed for Taxi Driver. If you people can't see that than your admiration for Finch is obviously blinding your judgement. Taxi Driver was one of the best performances ever. Not just of the 70's. Deniro was robbed because Fincher died.
