Will anyone campaign for Jesse L. Martin?

Like many others, I didn't care for the Rent movie but like so many others, I thought Jesse L. Martin was sensational. Even the negative Rent reviews from established critics have sung praises for Jesse Martin's performance in Rent. The words "Oscar nomination worthy" and Jesse L. Martin have been linked in many articles and reviews. Now I believe the odds of him getting nominated are slim but I would love to see a campaign mounted for him. Will Jesse's agents send him on the talk show circuit? Will Sony Pictures run a FYC ad in his name? Probably not but but it'd be nice if it happened.

What good would a campaign do?

The latest articles I've seen have actually attached Anthony and Wilson as names for possible nominees for awards from the National Board Review.

I've, unfortunately, yet to see Jesse attached to any awards as of yet.

Often studios/pr firms/agents will run a FYC as a pat on the back for an actor who did a good job.

And are we any of those?

Martin was pretty darn weak. So...no.

If any of the nominating committee saw his DREADFUL performance on the Tony's last year, I can guarantee he won't be an Oscar nominee this year...

Give me a break. I truly hope you're only playing dumb.
