Oscar Week Trivia - Shorter But Sweeter

15 minutes is short.

But a Best Supporting Actor nomination (not award) went to this guy for his 1976 movie with a SIX-minute performance. His co-star won Best Actor that year. Hallelujah!


Who's the guy (not woman) with shortest ever nomination for Best Supporting Actor?

But I don't think I know the name of the actor.

(Based on the co-star winning hint).

I"m guessing it's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

So, so close.

Peter Finch won Best Actor that year, beating out DeNiro's Taxi Driver Travis Bickle, and Stallone's Rocky Balboa. But that was Best Actor, not Supporting Actor, and not a 6-min performance.

Some great guesses. It's a different movie, but try squealing like a pig.

Seems Brando-ish in Godfather II, but he probably had more than 6 minutes

Ok, this one was really hard, and 19B came closest so he gets the prize!


Ned Beatty's ONLY Academy Award nomination (not win). Short and sweet.

Evidently I was wrong, but you at least got the actor for me

That was the year before Beatty's nomination though.
