I can only think how unjust that Peter O'Toole didn't win an Oscar for Lawrence of Arabia, one of the greatest male performances ever. And yet so was Gregory Peck's in To Kill A Mockingbird. If ever there was a merited tie, as well as Burton and Scofield in 1967, it was in 1963 too. And of course, the rightness of the tie for K Hepburn and Barbra Streisand in 1969. Ah, the greatness of the 60s !!!
I am a huge fan of Peter O'Toole. He should have won a Oscar for THE STUNT MAN or VENUS or LION IN WINTER, years that were fairly weak for Best Actor nominations. I loved him in BECKETT, but he was going against co-star Richard Burton, and both were going against Rex Harrison for MY FAIR LADY. He was Oscar worthy for THE RULING CLASS but was up against Marlon Brando for THE GODFATHER. I liked him in GOODBYE, MR. CHIPS (and I know a lot of people hate the movie), but he was in a competitive year and sentiment was going with John Wayne. In retrospect, the Academy should have given John Wayne a honorary Oscar, and give the Best Actor Award of O'Toole or Richard Burton for ANNE OF A THOUSAND DAYS
Yes! As you and I know, some years were just so damn competitive, with several worthy performances. Of course, that's ideally how the Oscar should be - what happened in the later years??
@@ConanTheLibrarian-n5q We are both his huge fans. I appreciate your analysis; it's excellent. O'Toole did go up against some remarkably strong performances, Peck and Harrison and Brando, unfortunately. There was just no way he shouldn't have won for The Lion in Winter. No other nominee came near him. That was the Academy's chance. Cliff Robertson ridiculous....
Thank you. 1. My dad took me to see Patton when I was ten. How did I sit there for three hours? I had to fall asleep, I only remember the beginning. Now, I have a hard time sitting for these great video clips. 2. One argument for Shelly W in Anne Frank winning Best Supporting Actress and it wasn't category fraud like Tatum O in Paper Moon. There were so many table scenes with the whole cast; it was the only place and time for everyone to interact. Other times of the day, they couldn't talk, in fear of being found out.
@oscarman42 1. I always had a hard time. When I saw Titanic. I knew it would be actual/real time once they hot the iceberg until the end. When they finally did, I accidently screamed, 'thank God, it's about f/cking time.'
Thanks for this fantastic video. When I was in college, I studied statistics. So, seeing so many numbers put a big smile on my face😊 A few points. First, of the 10 Supporting Actress performances in your video, 3 of them were from actresses who were extremely young at the time (Tatum O’Neal, Patty Duke, Hailee Steinfeld) - I can’t help thinking age (and not role) was the main factor in them (and others) being in that category. Second, of the 20 performances in your video, most of them were in fairly contemporary movies (from the 90’s and after, including 2 from this year alone) - Coincidence? Third, one Supporting Actress winning performance highlighted in your video was Alicia Vikander in the Danish Girl. After checking, I learned she was nominated for Best Actress at the Golden Globes and the BAFTAs. On the reverse side, Kate Winslet won Best Actress at the Oscars for the Reader, but Best Supporting Actress at the Golden Globes and the SAG Awards. Is it a case of the same issue, but, at the Oscars, Kate ultimately getting it right and Alicia ultimately getting it wrong? It’s interesting to see the same performance in different categories for different awards. Lastly, reading that Charlton Heston was in over 2 hours of Ben-Hur, but it represented only 55% of this movie reminded me how long that movie is!🤪
Jodie Foster could be either lead or supporting but the main focus isn’t on her character so supporting is fine. Hailee, Rooney, Tatum and Alicia are lead Duke could be considered lead but Bancroft is too . I don’t mind it here because both could be legitimately lead and support. Viola could go either way while Shelley is supporting . Marianne I think is supporting My favorites that won Viola Davis and Patty Duke Favorite nominees that didn’t win Marianne and Jodie Nominees for best actor Denzel and Leonardo are my favorites.
Rooney Mara was particularly the lead in Carol she even stated she was disappointed by her submission to the supporting category given she won best actress at Cannes, I feel she wasn’t nominated bc of name recognition best actress from when the Oscars started in 1928 was made for actresses that were leading ladies or A-list movie stars even when they were barely in the movie (look Patricia o’Neal in hud)
Neal in Hud is always the example I use for that category. As for Mara, I think it was doubtful she would share lead with Cate Blanchett, even though she actually had more screen time.
I would respectfully disagree with that, not only should art carneys oscar have gone to al pacino for the godfather part 2 or jack nicholson in chinatown but the best best actor wining performance of the 70s was dustin hoffman in kramer v kramer, Peter finch in network or marlon brando in the godfather.
@Andre_edge yes, he's able to display so much human emotion, sadness, anger, disappointment, disgust, frustration etc, all from the time joanne kramer says she's leaving him, he then carries the whole movie. Magnificent performance, my own favorite best actor winner is brando in on the waterfront.
I do think Viola Davis (and possibly Rooney Mara) should have been in lead performance rather than supporting. As for my favorite, it has to be Patty Duke, if only because she might beat me up if i picked anyone else. 😮
Good afternoon, friends Dis n dat 1) LAWRENCE OF ARABIA on the big screen is one of the films that got me to love movies. 2) One of my fondest memories is taking my father to see GIVE 'EM HELL, HARRY. 3) While it has been parodied more times than I can count, the Jennifer Jones scene from SINCE YOU WENT AWAY still has great power, especially when you consider that she was leaving her husband and co-star Robert Walker for the film's producer David O. Selznick. 4) Few actresses have been honored for playing so many disagreeable characters as Shelly Winters. In addition to DIARY OF ANNE FRANK, she won a Best Supporting Actress award for A PATCH OF BLUE and was nominated for Best Actress for A PLACE IN THE SUN. Ms. Winters gave her Oscar to the Anne Frank Museum and House in Amsterdam In case you haven't notice, Oscarman42, I have a new handle on UA-cam
Tatum O'Neal got the same treatment Al Pacino got the year before being nominated for a supporting role when really being a Lead role for The Godfather. Linda Blair should've won Best Supporting Actress in 1973. Brando should've been Best Supporting Actor & Pacino Best Actor for The Hustler Godfather in 1972.
Even though Pacino did have more screen time than Brando, at that time, Brando was a star. Newcomers have frequently been relegated to Supporting status (e.g. Timothy Hutton).
What about Laurence Olivier & Michael Caine for Sleuth 1972. The only actors in the film and both nominated for Best Actor and like James Whitmore were in the whole film
I will never understand how Art Carney beat out Jack Nicholson in Chinatown for the Best Actor in 1974. Jack won every other award until the Oscar. Not only that but how did he beat out Gene Hackman in The Conversation for a nomination?
Carney won the Golden Globe, plus it may have been a "Sentimental/Career" Oscar, even though his work primarily was in television. Just curious - did you see the film?
@oscarman42 Jack Nicholson won the Golden Globe for Actor-Drama & Carney won for Actor-Comedy or Musical. I have seen the movie a few times but I never thought Carney was more deserving than 1. Nicholson 2. Pacino 3. Hackman 4. Hoffman & I'm a person who would've voted Peter Sellers, George C.Scott & Sterling Hayden acting Oscars for Dr. Strangelove, Paul Newman for Slap Shot, Madelyn Kahn in Blazing Saddles even though there in comedies. I also think some horror/Sci-fi performances & movies shouldn't be ignored as the best.
@@stevemcnary7963 The Academy was slowly changing in the 1970s, though much of the old guard remained among the voting ranks, which is likely why it took Nicholson so long to finally win.
My head is spinning. But thanks for the wiener interlude...I was surprised to see Art Carney...Love love love that performance and film...with so many nice supporting characters in this quiet gem, you forget he's even in it...But he's just lovely and he deserved the Oscar...DiCaprio yelling like my father? Please...I'll pass. Thanks for the reminding us of M Jean-Baptiste in Secrets and Lies...
Alicia Vikander was very good and deserved to win. I also think Jodi Foster should have won although she really was the movie's lead. Annette Benning was way off in this performance

@@raydunn8262 LOL! I guess you're a fan now of streaming films - you can pause and/or quit before things get too difficult.
What an awesome line up. It makes me want to make a big bowl of popcorn and watch classic movies all weekend.
Right? I thought the same thing when I was putting this video together. Wish we could it virtually!
Thanks for this fantastic video. When I was in college, I studied statistics. So, seeing so many numbers put a big smile on my face😊 A few points.

Thank you for such a thoughtful, detailed analysis, touching upon many points I did not cover. You definitely know your movies...and awards!
Love your videos. Love ‘em!!😊
Thank you! I look forward to your future participation 😃

Hailee, Rooney, Tatum and Alicia are lead

Viola could go either way while Shelley is supporting .
Marianne I think is supporting
My favorites that won Viola Davis and Patty Duke
Favorite nominees that didn’t win Marianne and Jodie
Nominees for best actor Denzel and Leonardo are my favorites.
Great analysis. I love Viola and Patty too, no matter the category!
Rooney Mara was particularly the lead in Carol she even stated she was disappointed by her submission to the supporting category given she won best actress at Cannes, I feel she wasn’t nominated bc of name recognition best actress from when the Oscars started in 1928 was made for actresses that were leading ladies or A-list movie stars even when they were barely in the movie (look Patricia o’Neal in hud)
Neal in Hud is always the example I use for that category. As for Mara, I think it was doubtful she would share lead with Cate Blanchett, even though she actually had more screen time.
What about Jennifer Hudson for Dreamgirls? She’s the lead in Dreamgirls
Her screen time (51:30) would likely have landed her in the Top 10.
Tatum is amazing in Paper Moon! And then you have...DANIEL DAY LEWIS🎉
Two very different performances by two distinctly different actors!
Wasn't Frank Finlay's performance as Iago in Othello one of the largest supporting performance, either by length or screen time ?
Most definitely - 1 hour, 30 minutes. 55% on screen, which would put him at #1 in that category!
Yes, Art Carney's performance in Harry and Tonto was the best win in the Best Actor category during 1970s
So happy you enjoyed his performance, as many here were not thrilled with his win.
I would respectfully disagree with that, not only should art carneys oscar have gone to al pacino for the godfather part 2 or jack nicholson in chinatown but the best best actor wining performance of the 70s was dustin hoffman in kramer v kramer, Peter finch in network or marlon brando in the godfather.

I don't think Patty would do that - I hope not, since she's my favorite here too.

Nothing Freudian about the intermission cartoon. Sometimes a hot dog is just a hot dog.
Nothing indeed. Just an innocent piece of nostalgia.

Wow...seeing love today for Art Carney - so nice! So far his win has not been a favorite on this channel, but I agree with you!
Why this combo and not Longest Best Supporting Actor / Best Supporting Actress performances?
It seems peculiar.
*Sigh* - ya can't please everybody.
If 2 hours and 1 minute is only 55% on screen time then how long was the entire movie, almost 4 hours?
The film's running time was 3 hours and 32 minutes, but that excludes the overture, intermission, and entr'acte; hence the 55% screen time.
@@oscarman42 Thank you.
Mine was the first comment. Woo-hoo!
Thanks for watching...and posting!
Alicia Vikander was very good and deserved to win. I also think Jodi Foster should have won although she really was the movie's lead. Annette Benning was way off in this performance
I completely agree about Foster, though I knew she wouldn't win.
Viola Davis? Really?
She won an Oscar for this role, she can't be in this list.
Why should she not be here? Did you watch the video, or only reply based on the thumbnail?
