And how many actors have ever had the kind of year Colbert had in '34? Besides the Cleopatra Hec described (which I've yet to see, unfortunately), she also did Imitation of Life and It Happened One Night.
It was a pretty kickass year for her. I think Claude Rains probably had a year like that. He was in more classics than just about any other character actor I can think of: Robin Hood, Casablanca, Notorious, The Invisible Man (where he was the lead, of course)...
I bet Peter Sellers had a year like that in the 60s.

Dr. Strangeglove, The World of Henry Orient and A Shot In The Dark in '64. Not quite the same level.
Rains has Now, Voyager and Casablanca in '42. Other than that his big ones were spread out.

Yeah, but
Dr. Strangelove
gets counted three times.

I'm pretty sure ND went to see it, but he never comes in this thread.
Can't argue with Sellers in '64.

And so does It Happened One Night -- Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Actress Oscars.

I don't think that's how he was counting (Strangelove was nommed for 4 Oscars) -- but rather that Sellers was three characters.
