AN ACTOR CAN ONLY WIN THE BEST ACTOR AWARD ONCE. I wanted to implement this rule primarily to make this more challenging and fun and at the very least more actors will be getting an Oscar. This is necessarily about awarding the actual best performance, at least not entirely, but more about trying to get those actors that truly deserve Oscars their due.

1930: Lew Ayres - All Quiet on the Western Front

1931: Fredric March - Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
