(edited to 222 m.) The Missed Oscar: "[McDowall's] performance deserved an Oscar nomination as Best Supporting Actor, but his chances were accidentally ruined by the studio. Explains McDowall: 'An asterisk next to a name meant he or she has to be voted for as a leading player. Fox inadvertently put asterisks next to everybody's name. Anybody voted for in a supporting category was automatically disqualified.' The studio apologized in trade papers." — Films In Review, October 1988
