en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academy_Award_for_Best_Actor*edit in..... put pupdurcs on a strict Denzel Washington limit. 1939: Laurence Olivier - Wuthering Heights 1946: James Stewart - It's a Wonderful Life 1954: Humphrey Bogart - The Caine Mutiny 1956: Laurence Olivier - Richard III 1974: Al Pacino - The Godfather: Part II 1984: Albert Finney - Under the Volcano 1985: William Hurt - Kiss of the Spider Woman 1986: Bob Hoskins - Mona Lisa 2001: Russell Crowe - A Beautiful Mind 2003: Bill Murray - Lost in Translation I think there are a few more Lead Actor nominees I regret leaving off than there are Lead Actress nominees. First is maybe Lemmon for Days and Wine and Roses.
