I'll start with:
Best Actor in a Leading Role
WINNER
True Grit: John Wayne
NOMINEES
Anne of the Thousand Days: Richard Burton
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Midnight Cowboy: Dustin Hoffman
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Goodbye, Mr. Chips: Peter O'Toole
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Midnight Cowboy: Jon Voight
John Wayne- truly a hollywood legend, but the archtypical plays the same role in every film........and True Grit wasn't particularly good (Jeff Bridges later version was far better). What's more he beat literally 4 of the best actors of his generation to win. Peter O'Toole has been nominated about 32 times without a single win!
