In her first, Best Actress Oscar, Helen Hayes ages on screen from a young, victimized waif to an older woman, always a plus with the Academy voters. Helen Hayes won a second (undeserving) Supporting Actress Oscar for the trashy “Airport,” in 1970.

“Equus” received three Oscar Nominations: Best Actor for Richard Burton, Supporting Actor for Peter Firth, and Adapted Screenplay by Peter Shaffer.

Tim Burton's “Ed Wood” received two Oscar Nominations (and Awards): Best Supporting Actor for Martin Landau and Makeup for Rick Baker, Ve Neill, and Yolanda Toussieng.

“Easy Rider” was nominated for two Oscars:  Best Supporting Actor  forJack Nicholson and Original Screenplay by Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper, and Terry Southern.

“Europa, Europa” was nominated for the Best Adapted Screemplay, penned by director Agnieszka Holland from the memoirs of Solomon Perel. (See my review).
