As allowed by the award rules for this year, a single nomination could honor work in one or more films. Though the final awards ballot listed both "Disraeli" and "The Green Goddess" in his nomination, the award was announced for only the "Disraeli" performance. It has never been established as to why this was, but it possibly could have been because the original report from the Acting Branch Board of Judges only listed the "Disraeli" performance in the results of the nominations voting, or it could have been because on some of the final ballots, the voters had indicated the "Disraeli" performance over the other.
