Best Answer

He won the 1985 Best Actor award for his performance as an effeminate gay prisoner in "Kiss of the Spider Woman." It was the first of three consecutive Best Actor nominations for Hurt, who also received nods for "Children of a Lesser God" (1986) and "Broadcast News" (1987).

Twenty years after his Oscar win, Hurt was nominated as Best Supporting Actor for his short but memorable work as a gangster in "A History of Violence" (2005).
