He still is a millionaire...Why do people even care for some Oscar damn.
Because he's a damn good actor and its about time he is shown some form of recognition.
I never used to like him, because I remember when I was a kid they made us watch a 'modern' Romeo and Juliet and he was in that, hated him after seeing that because it dragged out our english classes, however (that was many moons ago) i've watched a lot of his stuff and I must say he is a damn fine actor, especially in Django, I hated that film but he made it bearable (along with Samuel L. Jackson), so ye that's why people care.
