releases but had to be shown instead on various streaming services.

without a win
Tatum O’Neal ,
Patty Duke , age 16, won
Best Supporting Actress
for her role in “The
Miracle Worker” in 1962.
She walked up to the
podium, said “Thank you”
and then exited the stage.

same six years later when
he was given the Irving G.
Thalberg award.
Greer Garson won
Best Actress for her
role in “Mrs.
Miniver” in 1942.
She went on for
nearly six excruciat-
ing minutes. It’s said
she’s the reason
Oscar winners have
time limits on their
speeches.

HISTORIC
NOMINATIONS
With nine
actors of color
nominated
— the most
ever in a single
year — the
2021 Academy
Awards could
reach several
momentous
milestones.
Some
examples:
ACTING
E.T., 1982
Schindler’s
List, 1993
■ Twenty of his Oscar trophies are
on display at the Disney Family
Museum in San Francisco.
OSCAR
CONTEST
Last given to: “The Full
Monty” in 1998
This could
be the first
year ever that
each of the
four acting
categories
is won by a
person of color.
Chadwick
Boseman,
Daniel Kaluuya,
Yuh-Jung Youn,
Viola Davis and
Andra Day are
all nominated.
Davis would be
the first Black
woman to win
two Oscars.
DIRECTING
Chloe Zhao,
the filmmaker
behind
“Nomadland,”
has dominated
awards season
thus far. If
Zhao wins
best director
at the Oscars
like many are
predicting, she
would become
the first woman
of color to win
the honor (and
only the second
woman ever).
AFTER DEATH
Should
Boseman
be named
best actor for
“Ma Rainey’s
Black Bottom,”
he’d become
the second
to receive
that Oscar
posthumously,
and the first
performer of
color.
Last given to: Robert Webb in 1937
