The Academy Award for Best Actor is an award presented annually by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS). It is given to an actor who has delivered an outstanding performance in a leading role in a film released that year. The award is traditionally presented by the previous year's Best Actress winner.
In the first three years of the awards, actors were nominated as the best in their categories. At that time, all of their work during the qualifying period (as many as three films, in some cases) was listed after the award.[3] During the third ceremony in 1930, only one of those films was cited in each winner's final award, even though each of the acting winners had two films following their names on the ballots.[4] The following year, this system was replaced by the current system in which an actor is nominated for a specific performance in a single film.[3] Starting with the ninth ceremony in 1937, the category was officially limited to five nominations per year.[3]
In the following table, the years are listed as per Academy convention, and generally correspond to the year of film release in Los Angeles County; the ceremonies are always held the following year.[6] For the first five ceremonies, the eligibility period spanned twelve months, from August 1 to July 31.[7] For the 6th ceremony held in 1934, the eligibility period lasted from August 1, 1932, to December 31, 1933.[7] Since the 7th ceremony held in 1935, the period of eligibility became the full previous calendar year from January 1 to December 31.[7]
A^ : According to longstanding Hollywood legend,[107] reported by Susan Orlean,[108]Rin Tin Tin actually received the most Best Actor votes, but the Academy (not wishing to give the first award to a dog) refactored the votes to ensure that Jannings won.[109]
B123 : Rules at the time of the first three ceremonies allowed for a performer to receive a single nomination which could honor their work in more than one film. George Arliss, Maurice Chevalier, and Ronald Colman were all nominated for two different roles in the same category. Current Academy rules forbid this from happening. No official reason was ever given as to why Arliss won the award for only one of the two films he was listed for.[110]
C12 : Fredric March received one more vote than Wallace Beery. Academy rules at that time considered such a close margin to be a tie, so both March and Beery received the award. Under current Academy rules, dual awards are given only for exact ties.[111]
^The 2nd Academy Awards is unique in being the only occasion where there were no official nominees. Subsequent research by AMPAS has resulted in a list of unofficial or de facto nominees, based on records of which films were evaluated by the judges.

Critics Choice Movie Award for Best Actor Golden Globe Award for Best Actor Motion Picture Drama Golden Globe Award for Best Actor Motion Picture Musical or Comedy Independent Spirit Award for Best Male Lead Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading RoleNotes EditA According to longstanding Hollywood legend 107 reported by Susan Orlean 108 Rin Tin Tin actually received the most Best Actor votes but the Academy not wishing to give the first award to a dog refactored the votes to ensure that Jannings won 109 B1 2 3 Rules at the time of the first three ceremonies allowed for a performer to receive a single nomination which could honor their work in more than one film George Arliss Maurice Chevalier and Ronald Colman were all nominated for two different roles in the same category Current Academy rules forbid this from happening No official reason was ever given as to why Arliss won the award for only one of the two films he was listed for 110 C1 2 Fredric March received one more vote than Wallace Beery Academy rules at that time considered such a close margin to be a tie so both March and Beery received the award Under current Academy rules dual awards are given only for exact ties 111 The 2nd Academy Awards is unique in being the only occasion where there were no official nominees Subsequent research by AMPAS has resulted in a list of unofficial or de facto nominees based on records of which films were evaluated by the judges References Edit Rule One Award Definitions PDF Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences AMPAS p
