Actor
George Arliss in DISRAELI & THE GREEN GODDESS
NOTE: Though the awards ballot listed both films in Arliss's nomination, the award was announced for only the DISRAELI performance. Why this was has not been established; it might possibly have been because the original report from the Acting Branch Board of Judges only listed this one performance in the results of the nominations voting, or it could have resulted from the voters indicating a preference for the DISRAELI performance over that in GODDESS on their final ballots.
