Re: another bit of Oscar trivia
Didn't think about the fact that Finch was the only posthumous best actor winner but that would fit as well. KT noted what I was referring to about Straight having the shortest screen time to win an Oscar among the four acting categories.silverscreenselect wrote:tanstaafl2 wrote: One of these six winners holds another unusual record. Who is the winner and what is the record they hold?Spoiler
Peter Finch was the first, and until last night, only posthumous acting Oscar winner. He's the only posthumous winner in the Lead Actor category.
