Gay — lesbian, bi, and trans — is gold! At least if you're talking about those statues handed out by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences every spring. Of course, this rule also does not apply to out actors, who, as Ian McKellen recently noted, have never taken home acting's top prize. Regardless, here are 50 hetero actors and actresses who received Oscar nominations for playing LGBT characters.
Judith Anderson
In 1940, Alfred Hitchcock directed Rebecca, a story of a self conscious bride who is tormented by the memory of her new husband’s first wife. Judith Anderson earned an Oscar nod for playing Mrs. Danvers, the chilling and obsessive caretaker who may or may not have been in love with the deceased wife.
