| Richard Burton got his 7th (and last) Oscar nomination for ''Equus'' (1977). He told friends that he really wanted to win it, having lost 6 times before. And Burton did win the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Drama, often a precursor for that season's Oscar winner. So I can only imagine his hurt and disappointment when the envelope was opened at the Academy Awards, and it was announced that the winner was ''Richard,'' but not ''Richard Burton,'' but ''Richard Dreyfuss'' for ''The Goodbye Girl.'' Such are the vagaries of awards. Some are fortunate to win on their first try, while others can be nominated multiple times and never win. |
