Sodoff Baldrick Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Alright, it's been 24 hours, so here's a hint: Academy rules had to be changed as a result of this role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Barry Fitzgerald was the only actor to get nominated for both the Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor for the same role? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afansince74 Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 (edited) Interesting..... (at least to me... stuff I didn't know!) Fitzgerald's double nomination also proved something far more telling. There was a great confusion, that exists to this day, over the proper definition of a 'supporting actor', versus a 'lead' actor. The Academy had no defined method of determining such, and it would probably be difficult to do so anyway. Despite the vagueness of the issue, the Academy did jump into action to ensure that this kind of thing could never happen again. They dumped the problem on the studios, with a rule change that required them to take ownership of selecting which categories their actors would fit into. This indirectly posed a new opportunity for studios when promoting their films, and only further highlighted the confusion over the difference between a 'supporting' role and a 'leading' role. Going forward, studios would promote their actors in categories where they felt they had the best shot. This is why Tatum O'Neal would win for Best Supporting Actress for Paper Moon, even though she appears in practically every scene. And it would be why Anthony Hopkins would win for Silence of the Lambs, when his character seemed like more of a supporting role.

afansince74 Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 After Lord of the Rings wrapped filming, each actor was given a souvenir set prop to take home with them. Who was given "the one ring to rule them all" as a gift? (Note: There were 2 prop rings used in shooting so there are 2 answers to this question) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
