I am astounded and amazed (yes amazed!) that Brad Pitt got nominated for Moneyball but Woody H was denied for this one. This is a great movie with complex characters and performances. IMDB users are giving it a 6 out of 10 at this time, which is probably why it wasn't nominated.
Woody plays a dirty / renegade cop who lives with his two ex-wives (who happen to be sisters) and two daughters in a house or group of houses / apartments in LA. He doesn't eat, appears to be very ill, drinks and smokes non-stop, and spews racial crap. He beats people up, kills people, steals, gets caught on video, and all the while tries to make it home for dinner with his girls.
His life is a disaster. He is under investigation, finding defense attorneys, figuring out how to pay for defense attorneys, you name it. The director, Oren Moyerman, did a fantastic job portraying a really crazy character. Also, virtually ever role in this film is played by a star - even one paragraph performances. And they are all great. No screen hogging, just a great film. I watched it twice - I recommend you pick it up.
