Bond deserves special mention, however, for starting life in Benkelman, Nebraska and getting as far as he did. That is not too far from my ancestral land, and a sleepier little patch of dust is hard to find.
And then all those towering eminences, like James Stewart, who appear in films slathered with nominations but which reap only one win. Smith --> DC got 11 noms, and one win. (for a category, best original story, which was eliminated in 1956). Or that cinematic poster child of Academy obtuseness, Rear Window, with four noms and zero wins. (On the Waterfront sucking all the oxygen from the room that year, becoming one of the early juggernauts) Yeah, I would have thought Malden would rack up more than he did.
Jack Lemmon is another one - an actor's actor who seems to have been more lauded by Cannes, BAFTA or the Golden Globes than the Academy. AFAICT only in The Apartment does he get multiple counts on the ticker (5).
An interesting romp through cinema history, thank you. (not a valediction, just wanted to get that in) I didn't look at Henry Fonda, but expect that would have a similar low count. (another escapee from Nebraska)
