Some actors work their whole lives hoping to get nominated for an Oscar. And some actors win an Oscar for their very first movie role.
For some actors, the road to winning an elusive Academy Award can take years — or even decades. Even then, there’s no promise that they’ll ever reach that summit. Every year, there’s multiple talented actors at the top of their game, all of whom are worthy of the title. It’s a mixture of a good campaign, timing, and luck. Ultimately, it’s in the hands of the Academy.
But then there are other actors who, upon scoring their first major role in a major motion picture, end up winning their first Oscar the same year. It’s a huge feat for an actor, and one that has the ability to change the course of their career. Going from a relatively unknown performer to an Academy Award-winner in less than a year is certainly rare — but it does happen. The first time it happened was in the 1940s, and the event continues to occur every now and then.
