Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role
- Kirk Douglas
The Bad and the Beautiful
The rise and fall of a Hollywood producer. Douglas stars as the ruthless, arrogant Jonathan Shields, who alienates actress Georgia (Turner), writer James Lee Bartlow (Powell), and director Fred Amiel (Sullivan) as he pursues his career. Much speculation at the time as to who the real-life models for the insider story actually were. Winner of five Oscars, a splendid drama.
This is an awsome movie about showbiz and how it can make or break you. If you wanna be good you gotta be mean if you want to be happy you should give up.
