Re: Best Supporting Actor 1961

Was Clift a serious contender this year? The Chakiris win is such a headscratcher.

Re: Best Supporting Actor 1958

I think Maurice Chevalier would have easily won if he had been nominated for Gigi. And wonder how Hermione Gingold also missed out for a nod for the same film.
