Is Barry Fitzgerald the Best Supporting Actor?
Barry Fitzgerald should have got the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. He plays a Catholic priest in this film, but Barry himself was Protestant. So he wasn't kind of fully aware of how priests act. Male actors who have won or been nominated for an Oscar are statistically more likely to get divorced than their Oscarless acting peers. There's a thing called the negative consequences of positive status shifts. When you get a bit arrogant, because you just been nominated or won an Oscar, men tend to leave their wives.
