When exactly did Depp deserve to win as Sparrow?? In 2003, he was nominated for that role and yes, no doubt, he was great, but Sean Penn in Mystic River was easily the best performance that year. I've got no issue with that win at all. Depp didn't get nominated for the other two pirate movies, the movies weren't great, but his performance as always was solid, but you wanna take away an oscar from Forest Whitaker, or Phillip Seymour Hoffman??? NO WAY.
