I must differ. Ian is always great, and Ewan, IMO, gave a MUCH better proformance than he ever has (see The Island for an example of bad)

See trainspotting for an example of good.
Look man, there is no chance in hell of Star Wars winning anything except maybe a special effects award or some other fairly obscure homur, or maybe a token award for achievemnet in cinema for the whole saga. Personally I think Ian was dog shit in ROTS, but if you like it, that's cool, but it is not oscar worthy by any strectch of the imagination. Have you seen Adrian Brody in the Pianist? That desrved the oscar. Tom Hanks in Philadelphia, Jack Nicholson in One flew over the cucko's nest, Ben Kingsley in Ghandi, Dustin Hoffman in Rainman, but Ian as Palpatine or Ewan as Obi Wan? No Way.
