There are many candidates for 2023, including Hugh Jackman (son), Brendan Fraser (module), Austin Butler (Elvis) and Christian Bale (amsterdam), to name a few. Only time will tell who will win the Oscar for the next best actor, but time has taught us who the winners have been throughout history, and here we have them all for you.
The first winner was Emil Jannings, awarded for two films last command Y The street is all flesh. The latter film, directed by Victor Fleming, is considered a lost film. Only two fragments survive, from both ends, making Jannings’ Oscar-winning work the only one not to have a complete copy.

Littlefeather read part of a lengthy statement in which Brando wrote: “The film community was equally responsible for denigrating the Indian and ridiculing the character of him, portraying him as savage, hostile and evil.” It should be noted that Brando received the Oscar in 1954 on the beach.
