This one's driving me crazy. Any ideas, anyone? What do the following actors have in common: Fred Astaire, Richard Burton, Charlie Chaplin, Gene Kelly, Peter O'Toole, Steve McQueen, Peter Sellers,, Kirk Douglas and Robert Mitchum? I thought it was something to do with the Oscars, but it seems not (some got one, some didn't).
Have they all been nominated for Oscars but not won in their most famous category? For example Chaplin won one for Music, but not as a director. i.e. they are famous 'Oscar Omissions'
