Deniro should have had Oscar number 2 in 1977, than Oscar number 3 in 81. But Fincher obviously robbed him. Whose performance is more memorable and more referenced today? Fincher's in Network or Deniro's in Taxi Driver? Nuff said.

network is an overrated movie, and Finch's part is an agenda and not a human.

I haven't seen Network since it was released, but I remember Finch's performance vividly. It was powerful, memorable. I love DeNiro, but he was not robbed that year.

Finch was dead, he didn't "rob" anyone of the Oscar that year, moron. The Academy members voted him the Oscar, which was deserved. His performance as Howard Beale blew out of the water DeNiro's performance.

Finch deserved to win.
Thank God he won.
And besides,
is a much better actor than Deniro.
I don't think you've ever seen astonishing movies such as The Pumpkin Eater or The Trials of Oscar Wilde or Sunday Bloody Sunday or Something To Hide, and I could name you at least other 15 great performances in at least 15 very good films.
Network was the icing on his cake. I still can't understand why he is soo underrated as an actor( and as a theatre actor).

the only thing you can say 'nuff said' abob68ut is that Finch definitely deserved his oscar, he gave so much heart and soul to it that it probably led to his death by a heart attack

FINCHES WAS A MASTERPIECE OF ACTING,,,ART CARNEY UNNOMINATED FOR THE LATE SHOW WAS EQUAL TO FINCHES,,,DENIRO ROBBED THE GREAT FRED ASTAIRE IN 74 FOR HIS AWEFUL IN IATALIAN ROLE IN GODFATHER 2,,RAGING BULL OK,,BUT PETER O'TOOLE WAS THE BEST FOR THE STUNTMANDENIRO HAS GOTTON THE AFI LIFE ACHIEVEMENT AWARD AND IS GETTING A KENNEDY CENTER HONOR THIS YEAR,,
