I disagree.

I like both movies a lot, and while both actors did great jobs with each character, I think Tom Hanks did a better job performing Forrest than Tim Robbins did performing Andy.

If anything, Tim Robbins performance was simpler than Tom Hanks.

Tim Robbins might have deserved a nomination (though I don't know who else was nominated that year), but Hanks would have still won.
