I know, sometimes it’s just a thin year. Sometimes sentimentality plays a role. But that doesn’t make miscarriages of Oscar justice any easier to take – especially when, as in these cases, far better actors went without.George Chakiris, best supporting actor, “West Side Story,” 1961.

In Hollywood, the meat parade never ends.
