I double-checked the cast list of DOLORES CLAIBORNE on IMDb. There is only one actor whose last name is Cooper - Roy Cooper, who is neither Gary Cooper nor Chris Cooper.

Oops. Sorry, I mixed David Strathairn (who should have been an Oscar winner by now) with Chris Cooper – it's the John Sayles connection, I guess.

Updated the master list with the following editions,

* 3l *


Winter Kills
- Jeff Bridges
- John Huston
- Elizabeth Taylor


Wrestling Ernest Hemingway
- Rubert Duvall
- Richard Harris
- Sandra Bullock

Richard Harris is not an Oscar winner, but Wrestling Ernest Hemingway's Shirley MacLaine is.

Also, since John Huston's Oscars were not for acting, I don't think his acting contribution to Winter Kills technically counts, but Dorothy Malone's does.
