Retroactively award the 1995 Best Actor Oscar to Raul Julia for Street Fighter.
The Issue
In an unfathomable act of cinematic injustice, Raul Julia was robbed of the 1995 Academy Award for Best Actor for his career-defining performance as General M. Bison in 1994’s Street Fighter. While Tom Hanks walked away with the Oscar for Forrest Gump, the world knows the truth: Raul Julia was the rightful winner of that award. It's time to correct the record.
Tom Hanks and the Academy, you know what to do.
