Young Mr. Lincoln

[Linda Anderson]

I came across this recent article on "Young Mr. Lincoln." The author writes about Fonda, "How he failed to get an Oscar nomination always baffles me."

According to Wikipedia, Fonda as Abe Lincoln was up against Mr. Chips, Rhett Butler and Heathcliff, not to mention Mickey Rooney and Jimmy Stewart.

Best Actor

* Robert Donat – Goodbye, Mr. Chips
Clark Gable – Gone With the Wind
Laurence Olivier – Wuthering Heights
Mickey Rooney – Babes in Arms
James Stewart – Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
