I believe performers can choose which category their performance should be considered for -- and they don't always make the right choice.
Talia Shire opted for LEAD ACTRESS for ROCKY -- but might have had a better shot as Supporting
Rosalind Russell refused to be considered a Supporting player for PICNIC, but didn't make the cut as Lead
Then again, Viola Davis was just as much of a lead performer as Denzel in FENCES -- yet took the prize for Supporting (a wise decision on her part)
Would Brando had won for GODFATHER if Pacino had also been in the Lead category -- which he richly deserved to be?
