Hmm . . .1938 - Spencer Tracy - Boys Town1939 - Robert Donat - Goodbye, Mr. Chips1940 - Jimmy Stewart - The Philadelphia Story1948 - Laurence Olivier - Hamlet1956 - Yul Brynner - The King and I1964 - Rex Harrison - My Fair Lady1965 - Lee Marvin - Cat Ballou1966 - Paul Scofield - A Man For All Seasons1977 - Richard Dreyfuss - The Goodbye Girl2010 - Colin Firth - The King's SpeechSo only 10, I guess (though there are several more -- Forrest Gump, Gandhi and Amadeus at least -- that I know I've seen at least part of, but I'm not sure I've seen the whole movie). Funny, how most of them are older movies; that gap between 1977 and 2010 looks really odd. There's a pretty good chance I will see this year's winner, since I've already seen TTSS and Moneyball and I'm planning to see The Descendants and The Artist at some point. But if Bichir wins, I guess I'm out of luck. In general, though, I haven't done all that much better at seeing nominees than winners; I'd guess that I've seen at least one nominee most years from 1934 on, but there are still plenty of years that I haven't even seen any of the nominees for. If I do manage to see both The Artist and The Descendants, I'm pretty sure this will be the first year I've seen 4 of 5 nominees, though there are a few years for which I've seen 3 of 5 nominees.
