S...This, I think, was obviously a supporting role. So charmed by him were Academy members, however, that he is the only actor to ever receive nominations in both lead and supporting categories for the same role (which led to a rule change to prevent this from reoccurring thereafter). I can see the supporting award, because Fitzgerald provides much of the ambience necessary for this rather rambling story to coalesce. It's not a challenging role, certainly nothing that warranted a NYFCC award much less a Best Actor nod, but Fitzgerald's a heartwarming charmer here and remains much of the reason people return to this film at holiday seasons.Frank/click5https://www.blogger.com/profile/03605293626729520817noreply@blogger.com
