The Next Category...

With 1938's Best Supporting Actor category all finished, it's time to move on. And our next category is...

1954 Best Supporting Actor!

Seriously, Supporting Actor again? Well, I guess with only seven categories (I've decided to view all screenplay categories as one considering how often they changed over the years) the same category coming up twice in a row was bound to happen but I didn't think it would happen so soon!

Anyway, the nominees for Best Supporting Actor, 1954, are:

• Lee J. Cobb in On the Waterfront
• Karl Malden in On the Waterfront
• Edmond O'Brien in The Barefoot Contessa (The Winner)
• Rod Steiger in On the Waterfront
• Tom Tully in The Caine Mutiny

1954 was one of only two years that three nominees for the same film were nominated, and one of only five times there were three nominees from the same film in a single category. Two nominees from one film in a single category happens a lot, but three is something special.

This means it won't take as long for me to finish the films. I've already started on The Barefoot Contessa, and I'm excited to watch this slate of films, as two star Humphrey Bogart and one stars Marlon Brando. Two major Hollywood Heavyweights in one stretch. Let's do this!

Next post will be the mini-review of The Barefoot Contessa.
