@@josemiguelgarcia122absolutely agree Jimmy Stewart should have won for It's a Wonderful Life. While I like Fredric March's performance in Best Year's of our Lives, I felt that March's role was more supporting than leading. To me the lead actor in Best Year's of Our Lives, was Dana Andrews. Fredric March was good but they should have given the Oscar to Jimmy Stewart for It's a Wonderful Life
For me, When I found out that Its a Wonderful Life was not winning any Oscar at all and I Was Quiet Shoked Baecuse it is the greatest Movie of the year and one of the greatest Movies of all time IMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
