	Come on, Peter O'Toole. Be really good in another movie so that you can finally win that Oscar you deserve.

	Haha, Peter O'Toole could even be a bonus for this: he was nominated as Henry II in both Becket and The Lion in Winter!

	@jda I like your idea so much; maybe there could be enough supporting actor role duplicates to create a stand alone quiz. And thanks for mentioning the brilliant Robert Shaw as Henry VIII, a role he might disagree(being Irish and all)that he was born to play

	I think you missed an important one: Vito Corleone, played by Marlon Brando in 1972's The Godfather and Robert De Niro in 1974's The Godfather, Part II. Both won Oscars for their portrayals, making it the only character to be so honored - but for two different actors' efforts.

	Did anyone else try Jimmy Durante for Cyrano de Bergerac?

	@bespin7x: De Niro won best Supporting Actor, which does not count per the quiz instructions.

	I got Jeanne Eagels and missed Anthony Hopkins. What am I, 105?

	I agree with jda28 that this quiz would be more enjoyable if you included the best supporting nominations. Especially since the title of the quiz itself implies that they should be included.

	I think this one might need updating: Raymond Massey was nominated for Best Actor for playing Abraham Lincoln in 1940's "Abe Lincoln in Illinois", which would match up with Daniel Day-Lewis's most recent win.
