Appearing in the best picture in consecutive years may seem like a random bit of trivia, but it's actually happened more in recent years.
Note: the years cited represent when a film was awarded an Oscar, not the year it was released.
Prior to the 1950s, the accomplishment was more often than not achieved by actors in uncredited roles, while “Gone With the Wind” is responsible for more than half a dozen instances alone of actors going back to back. Wallis Clark, an actor who was uncredited in many films, appeared in the best picture winner inconsecutive years from 1935 to 1937. He missed out in 1938 and went back to back again in 1939 and 1940, yet was only credited in one of those five films.
Ian Charleson, John Gielgud and Richard Griffiths all starred in the 1982 best picture,"Chariots of Fire," and repeated the feat a year later in"Gandhi." That would usher in a dark period when no actor appeared in consecutive best pictures when Russell Crowe pulled off a spectacular feat. In 2001, he starred in best picture winner “Gladiator” and did it again the next year with “A Beautiful Mind.” What separated him from the pack, though, was he won best actor for each film.
“Casting directors really know who to push for and who is really right for each role, so it goes without saying that it has everything to do with the casting directors and their talent is apparent in these films,” he said in an email to TODAY. Scoot McNairy is a versatile actor who appeared in two very different consecutive best picture winners, "Argo" and "12 Years a Slave."It remains to be seen if the list does become more diverse, but there’s no question about legacy. Being in movies that will go down in history may alter how you’re viewed and may up the ante for the quality of project an actor joins. McNairy says being part of award-winning films didn’t necessarily put any pressure on him for future projects.
