FOG Academy - Greatest Actor Ever.

[Wichita Lineman]

No whitewashes this time around but only Lee J. Cobb made a decent fight of it before losing to Doris Day. 

I think the next offering might be a bit trickier to decide on. Marlon Brando & Paul Newman were both nominated 3 times.

Results -
Lee J. Cobb 3 v 6 Doris Day
Bette Davis 8 v 1 Ricky Gervais
Tom Conti 2 v 7 Tilda Swinton
