Here is a SELECTIVE list of 10 Best Actor Oscar winners (chronologically):
Lionel Barrymore Ray Milland Broderick Crawford Yul Brynner David Niven Charlton Heston Lee Marvin Cliff Robertson Michael Douglas Matthew McConaughey
Question: Who else would fit into this list, and why? Examples of winners who would NOT fit are Humphrey Bogart, Burt Lancaster, and Jack Lemmon.

OK, trying these:
Ernest Borgnine / Paul Lukas / Art Carney / Jeremy Irons
Roberto Benigni / Adrien Brody / Warner Baxter / Forest Whitaker
Emil Jannings / F. Murray Abraham / Jean Dujardin
Lead Actor winners who were all 'one and done.'

Thanks ... I think (unless that was meant to be an insult and not a compliment).

Can't quite place it. But it's a relief to know it was a friendly post. Usually when I'm referred to as a 'MF' it tends to be somewhat of a put-down.  |

Once-around Lead Actress winners? Not hard to find - Shirley Booth, Halle Berry, others. The tricky part (at least I had hoped) was to divine the commonality.

Marlee Matlin / Mary Pickford / Ginger Rogers, others?
Divining the commonality? Beyond once-arounds?
