Kate Winslet for TITANIC didn't win anything, but she was in the #1 movie of the year and a Best Picture/Director nominee. Helena Bonham Carter for WINGS OF THE DOVE won LAFCA. Judi Dench won GG (Drama) and BAFTA, but the latter were held in the spring, post-Oscars, until the 2000s so they held no sway in the matter. At SAG and GG, she was nominated for both AGAIG and MAY.

"Despite being nominated for nine acting Oscars, the great Paul Newman only won once, for his role in 1986's The Color of Money, the distant sequel to 1961's The Hustler, a film for which Newman had also been nominated, playing the same character, "Fast" Eddie Felson.

This is an actor who transformed and disappeared into a role. Richard Attenborough was trying to make this movie for ages and when he finally succeeded, he rightfully claimed Best Picture and Best Director.īen Kingsley IS Mahatma Gandhi.
