peter o'toole has been nominated for 8 oscars throughout his long and prolific career. he has never won. t.e. lawrence, though a real man who served as a military officer / liaison in the arab revolt of 1916-1918, is also one of cinema's greatest characters, due primarily to the portrayal given by o'toole. the david lean-directed epic is often considered one of the greatest pictures ever, but little is said about the snub to end all snubs at the 1962 oscars. i watched lawrence of arabia for the first time in about ten years last week, and the performance is still as raw as ever. *nominated for 1963 best actor oscar:
lost to gregory peck in to kill a mockingbird
greatest moment: see below
