Rewatching Brief Encounter just now, and I’d have to say Trevor Howard.
Also, does anyone know why Celia Jonson was nominated for the movie in 1947, despite the film being released in 1945?
The Oscars are really a Los Angeles Film Festival and the qualifications are based on when films are shown there and not nationwide. Hence you get Casablanca winning the Oscar in 1943 when it was released in New York in 1942. Lots of British films are nominated a year or so after they were released in the UK based on their release in Los Angeles.

1982
and I’ve also seen ….
Wolmi Island (1982) Gyong-sun Cho, North Korea
Pure propaganda piece about four gunnery crews on Wolmi Island who happily sacrifice themselves by blowing up MacArthur’s fleet when he invades Inchon. I don’t think a single model ship escaped being blown up. There are even a couple of merry songs. Sadly it is not quite cheesy enough to be funny. But the post sync work was excellent.

Cy Enfield (sometimes billed as Endfield), who later made Zulu, is a talented director. Try and Get Me is good, and Hell Drivers is a must for Stanley Baker fans. I haven't seen The Underworld Story, but look forward to it.
Michael Caine credits Enfield for kickstarting his film career with Zulu. He said that he doubted that any English director would have cast a Cockney in the part of the posh Lt Gonville Bromhead (what a name!) but American Enfield had no problems giving him a shot.

The 37 and 54 versions of A STAR IS BORN, the 1966 movie THE OSCAR, Bette Davis used one of her best actress Oscars as a prop in THE STAR; Goldie Hawn’s supporting actress statuette makes a cameo in THE FIRST WIVES CLUB (Bette Midler makes a joke that it’s inscribed with “I beat Meryl” ) And I believe several show up in the background of a producer’s office in THE BAD AND THE BEAUTIFUL
ETA- And how could I forget Rachel Maren’s best actress performance as THE QUEEN OF THE NIGHT from THE BODYGUARD?!?!
Also IN & OUT (1997) Whose whole premise is jumpstarted by an Academy award speech.
Sure but this policing is a relatively new phenomenon. I'm not saying that reference or visual of Oscars cannot be used but it would have to be by permission. You may notice the small R behind the words Academy Award now which refers to registered trademark.

I learned more about film from ALTERNATE OSCARS than maybe any other book I have ever read. I believe PEARY is still alive and I would love to see what updates he would make to the book, which came out waaaay back in 1991.
(I still have a copy, btw, which I had to order from amazon because my original broke at the spine and fell apart.)
I have the book to. If he updated it he would no doubt have to change the title as the Academy won't let anyone near the trademarked names or statue any longer.

6. Hitokiri (1969) Hideo Gosha, Japan
Shintaro Katsu, of Zatoichi fame pulls out all of the stops in this graphic action packed tale of a ronin who is only too anxious to take on hit job after hit job for his stoic master played by Tatsuya Nakadai. Katsu really goes for it in this one. Recommended.

*NB: I'm in England for a couple of months and over here the times do not appear on the schedule. So for the next while if interested you may have to double check the times that I am posting.
When the schedule was originally announced The Member of the Wedding (1953) with Julie Harris was on at 8 p.m. Now it appears to be replaced with ...
Nothing But a Man (1964) with Ivan Dixon, Abbey Lincoln and Julius Harris.

1917 didn't blow me away by any means. I thought its basic premise was at fault.
Okay, we start in the English trenches. Everything behind the trenches is in the hands of the Allies. They learn that that Germans in front of them have retreated. They have to get a message along the line to call off an attack. The telephone lines are dead. What to do?
Instead of going behind their own lines, getting in a vehicle and driving to the rear of their fellows then forward to their trenches what do they do ...?
They send two men on foot into no man's land to go along the line in semi-abandoned enemy territory to deliver the message.
We even come across English soldiers using vehicles in this abandoned territory. So why couldn't they just drive behind their own line to deliver the message?
Answer: You wouldn't have a movie if they did that.

Thanks for that info. I'll have to let my mom know. Maybe I'll even go to her house to watch a few for some mother \ son bonding.
I hope that she likes Pythonesque geysers of blood. Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart at the River Styx is the very best IMO. It you can only catch one, try that.

Oscar-Nomated Stars Whose Best Performance(s) were Not Nominated
in General Discussions
Posted
I find that I differ most with the Academy's choices when it comes to supporting awards. Perhaps that is because there are so many gems that the studios were not pushing on voters or in some cases (IMO) in the wrong category. And of course there were no Oscars for supporting roles before 1936.
