| I find a number of examples before the William Daniels case of people nominated in leading categories if their billing was "Starring" or even "Also Starring" under the title. (I've mentioned this here at least twice in the past.) It's when people were under the title and billed under "With" that they were almost invariably considered supporting or featured. Hence Grimes, Bosley and many, many others. (After the Tonys, Grimes was moved above the title.) Rarely mentioned here in the 3,747 discussions we've had of this, but we shouldn't forget Anne Bancroft in Two for the Seesaw and Maureen Stapleton and Eli Wallach in The Rose Tattoo. Bancroft got put above the title after Henry Fonda left, suggesting that perhaps if Fonda hadn't reluctantly agreed to do the play (and then bitched and made everyone miserable because Bancroft had the better role), Bancroft might have always been above the title. Related: the committee made an announcement justifying putting Charlie Ruggles in supporting or featured for The Pleasure of His Company, even though he was billed above the title. That show had interesting billing. Linking a page where you can see it if you click on the images. |
