If he doesn't care about awards, why was he so bummed that he didn't win? You could tell when they panned to him that he wasn't happy and then Billy Crystal made that comment "Don't leave Bill, Don't leave"
I love Bill Murray and I thought he was excellent in this movie but I think they made the right choice in Sean Penn IMO.

MURRAY UPSET AT OSCAR RESULT
Actor Bill Murray shocked guests at Sunday night's Academy Awards when he refused to clap as rival nominee Sean Penn was named Best Actor.
The "Lost in Translation" star looked annoyed when Nicole Kidman announced Penn had won for his performance in "Mystic River."
According to British newspaper the Sun, Murray later shouted at organizers, "If I knew this was going to happen, I wouldn't have bothered coming."
The 53-year-old comedian has made no secret of his dislike of award ceremonies, and didn't show up to collect the Best Actor award at London's BAFTAS last month.
Murray has said, "Awards are meaningless to me, and I have nothing but disdain for anyone who actively campaigns to get one.
"It's a really unattractive sight to see an actor or actress who really wants an Oscar. And you often see it on the show -- you see their faces and the desperation is so ugly."
