Daily Question # 217

What  else  is  missing  in  this  snap  apart  from  the  dude’s  hands ?

217

The  man  in  the  pic  is  Harold  Russell , the  only  person  to  have  received  2  Oscars  for  the  same  role  in  the  same  movie – The  Best  Supporting  Actor  Award  and  an  honorary  Oscar  ”for  bringing  hope  and  courage  to  his  fellow  WW II  veterans” ( The  Best  Years  Of  Our  Lives in  1947 ) . However , he  sold  one  of  his  Oscars  in  the  90s  to  gather  money  for  the  treatment  of  his  ailing  wife  and  hence  missing  from  the  pic .

    Harold Russell, the only person to get two oscars for the second one. What is missing from the snap is his second oscar statuette, which he controversially sold off when his wife became ill.

    Harold russell, who is the only person to have won two oscars for the same role. And what is missing is his other oscar, which he controversially sold off when his wife became ill.

    (some cookie doubt. Not sure if my last post went through)

  3. Arun Hiregange says:

    I dunno, perhaps the second Oscar that Harold Russell was awarded for “bringing hope to his fellow veterens”, in addition to his Best Supporting Actor Oscar?

    The man is Harold Russel.He won two Oscars [Best Supporting Actor and Honorary Award for bringing hope and courage to fellow veterans.].But he sold one of the Stautettes for his wife’s medical expenses for $60500.So the missing thing being the other Oscar Award.

  6. Yadhu says:

    a second Oscar statuette that Harold Russell won is missing in d pic!!!

    He won two Academy Awards for his role in “The Best Years Of Our Lives” in 1947 ….. one for Best Supporting Actor and other an honorary Oscar for “bringing hope and courage to his fellow veterans.” The special award had been created because the Board of Governors very much wanted to salute Russell, a non-professional actor, but assumed he had little chance for a competitive win. It was the first time the Academy has awarded two Oscars for the same role.
