It is a performance much like Jack Nicholson's where I guess they were trying to be funny. After all Prizzi's Honor is suppose to be a comedy even though I never really detected very much of it. I think Hickey's whole routine with acting like he basically is dead is suppose to be funny but it just comes off as strange and not funny. Hickey technically is not horrendous though he has some moments which focus on him, where he does an okay job. When he is commanding his men, he method is bizarre but it technically goes in line with the movie even if what the movie is trying to do does not really work. He technically is just going along with the film's odd attempts at comedy and I guess he tries his best, but the effort is wasted.

Agree on this one too...
The old dude's scary!
I felt quite neutral to this performance. I guess he's gonna be third.
Mmh, I rather liked him. I thought you might, too, but I guess this year doesn't offer anything good. Let's see if Klaus can save this line-up.
someone from Back to the Future should have been nominated.
Sage: This seems like a year that cannot allow too much of a debate.
Twister: Hickey certainly was odd.
Dansztie: Seems quite possible.
Fritz: Well it seems it is up to him.
Tom: Yes someone from that should have been nominated.
What do you think about Anjelica Huston in this one? Is her Oscar deserved?
I liked her, she was the best thing about the film, and she certainly was deserving.
Since we're turning this around to something more interesting, I'm glad to hear you thought Huston was deserving...
My opinion, she saved the movie from being one big ball of hot air.
She sure did.
I only know him as the mad doctor from nightmare before christmas.
