Fredric March beat Wallace Beery by one vote, but the rules at the time stated that if any category came with-in three votes of each other than it would be considered a tie, hence two winners this year.

1930/1931



1929/1930

**NOTE** - George Arliss should have won two Academy Awards as the rules stated at the time that if nominated for more than one film and you won for one than you would win for both. However, it was only announced that Arliss won for Disraeli even though the nomination for both were announced. No one is really sure as to why this was, some speculate that the voters may have indicated that they perferred Arliss' peformance in Disraeli, while others say there was a mistake on the voting ballots and only Disraeli was listed.

1928/1929
**NOTE** - According to the Academy Of Motion Picture Arts and Science, no nominees were officially announced this year, only the winners were unveiled, however according to their internal files all of the films listed above were under consideration.

1927-1928
**NOTE** - Charles Chaplin won a special award this year for The Circus. A letter to Chaplin explains the award: "The Academy Board of Judges on merit awards for individual achievements in motion picture arts during the year ending August 1, 1928, unanimously decided that your name should be removed from the competitive classes, and that a special first award be conferred upon you for writing, acting, directing and producing 'The Circus.' The collective accomplishments thus displayed place you in a class by yourself." Emil Jannings won the actual Best Actor award for his work in two movies that year, while Richard Barthelmess was nominated for two movies as well, which was allowed according to the rules of the time.
