Dexter,

Thanks very much for explaining this in my absence...even though it all seems in vain now thanks to ash...

Talking of ash, I hope you can all now see why I wanted to start the "new 13" afresh...oh well, life goes on I spose...

Back on point:

13 Movies where you give the single acting Oscar win to another equally-deserving cast member (nominated or not)

1. American Beauty - Annette Bening

i'm a little confused by this category. can you try re-wording it? or just tell me.

ash,

Here's the deal:

1) concentrating on the four acting categories ONLY, find a film which won one Oscar (eg: American Beauty - the only acting Oscar went to Kevin Spacey)

2) imagine you now have to take away Spacey's Oscar and award it to another cast member you think was also deserving of a win (eg: Annette Bening - who happened to be nominated). However, you may wish to "give" that Oscar to eg Thora Birch (not nominated). Either is a valid choice. As long as the award is "given" to a fellow cast member of the actual winner, it matters not whether they were actually nominated.

The result, I suppose, is to illustrate who we think was robbed of an Oscar from the films we choose.

Hope this is now all clear...just wanted to throw a category out there to make us think a little....

You mean like takeaway Frances McDormand's Oscar for Fargo and give it to William H. Macy.

I guess that would be 2.

Precisely Loner!

In your example, you picked somebody who was actually nominated (Macy). You could just as easily have picked Steve Buschemi (for example) despite the fact he was not nominated. If you think he deserved a win, feel free to list him!

So, this is where we are now:

13 Movies where you give the single acting Oscar win to another equally-deserving cast member (nominated or not)

1. American Beauty - Annette Bening
2. Fargo - William H. Macy

I think I understood this category

5. Rosemary's Baby - Mia Farrow
6. Gladiator - Joaquin Phoenix
7. The King's Speech - Geoffrey Rush



There's probably loads more but that's the first one that sprang to mind. That and Annette Bening had already been said.

8. The African Queen - Katharine Hepburn
9. Coal Miner's Daughter - Beverly D'Angelo
10. The Departed - Leonardo Dicaprio
11. Gone With the Wind - Vivien Leigh

Neither of these choices are valid as nobody won an Oscar for acting in The Departed. In the case of Streetcar, THREE actors won for acting including Vivien Leigh herself!

Any listing here must be for a film which won ONE Oscar only for acting. You are then required to "give" that Oscar to any other deserving cast member of your choice.

Therefore, as of now, our list looks like this:

1. American Beauty - Annette Bening
2. Fargo - William H. Macy
3. Goodfellas - Ray Liotta
4. The Color of Money- Tom Cruise
5. Rosemary's Baby - Mia Farrow
6. Gladiator - Joaquin Phoenix
7. The King's Speech - Geoffrey Rush
8. The African Queen - Katharine Hepburn
9. Coal Miner's Daughter - Beverly D'Angelo

seriously, who cares. i just want to finish this category.
