Lee Marvin in Cat Ballou. Point Blank and The Dirty Dozen are the films he is known for instead. Cat Ballou now feels like an afterthought.

I always felt that Paul Lukas in Watch on the Rhine (great performance by the way) is not that forgotten, simply because he beat Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca.
My pick would be Cliff Robertson in Charly. It's a performance rarely anybody talks about and it happened 25 years closer to date than Lukas' win and Robertson also isn't a well-known name. There are some actor wins in the early 30s I've an even harder time to remember, but this is also soo long ago.

More recently, Sean Penn in Milk was pretty damn forgettable (for me)

I think Lukas's win is the most undersung Oscar win for sure, but I don't think it's forgettable by those who have actually sought it out and seen it.

I wish I could forget Niven's. Every time he said "cheerio bye", I wanted to burn a motherfucker down.
For all the memorable performances he put out, Muni's winning one might be one of his most forgettable.

I'm going with Ronald Colman for A Double Life.
EDIT: I read this as forgotten.  Niven definitely takes this. |
