surprised when the film was nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best |
Picture. [13] Harper was believed by some to be a strong contender for either |
Best Actress or Best Supporting Actress , but ultimately she was nominated in |
neither category. [88] Duvall was the only American actor nominated for the |
Best Actor Oscar; his competition were Britons Michael Caine (who had co- |
starred with Duvall in the 1976 The Eagle Has Landed ), Tom Conti , Tom |
Courtenay and Albert Finney . During an interview before the Oscar ceremony, |
Duvall offended some Britons by complaining about "the Limey syndrome," |
claiming "the attitude with a lot of people in Hollywood is that what they do |
in England is somehow better than what we do here." [87] Duvall, who was |
presented with the Oscar by country music star, Dolly Parton , said of winning |
the award, "It was a nice feeling, knowing I was the home-crowd favorite." |
[89] In a New York Times profile of Duvall that appeared six years after |
Tender Mercies ' release, Nan C. Robertson wrote that, despite four previous |
Academy Award nominations, "it was not until he won as Best Actor in 1983 ... |
that moviegoers woke up in droves to this great natural resource. The reason |
was that they rarely recognized Mr. Duvall from one part to another, so |
effortlessly did he vanish into each celluloid persona." [22] Foote, who was |
so certain he would not win the Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar for To Kill a |
Mockingbird he had not attended the 1963 ceremony , made sure he was present |
to collect his award for Best Original Screenplay. [7] The critical success of |
the film allowed Foote to exercise considerable control over his future film |
projects, including final veto power over major decisions; when such power was |
denied, Foote would simply refuse to do the film. [3] Award Category |
