Paul Newman & The Academy

Katharine Hepburn, the recipient of the most Oscar acting awards ever, was once quoted as saying: "You always win an Academy Award for the wrong role." Paul Newman might agree with her on that one.

Paul Newman was nominated 6 times for the Academy Award for Best Actor over a span of almost 30 years BEFORE finally taking home the coveted statuette for reprising his role as "Fast" Eddie Felson in The Color of Money (1986). However, many people, including Newman, felt this was the Academy's way of 'compensating' for snubbing him time and again in what was one of the most frustrating quests for the award in film history.

For which role do you believe Newman should have taken home the Academy Award for Best Actor before his eventual win?
