William Hurt, on the other hand, has already had his day. The 55-year-old actor received lead actor nods for Children of a Lesser God (1986) and Broadcast News (1987), and even won for Kiss of the Spider Woman (1985). What's odd about his nomination is that it's only one of two that A History of Violence, by far one of the year's top films, received. (The other was for adapted screenplay.)
