Barry Fitzgerald became the only performer in the history of the Academy Awards to be nominated for both Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor for the same role in "Going My Way". He ended up getting the Supporting Actor prize while Crosby won Best Actor. It also won Best Picture and Best Director for Leo McCarey.

It's a magnificent film and while Fitzgerald was a wonderful comedic actor, he tore my heart out in this one.
The guy was a scene stealer. In John Ford's "The Quiet Man", he practically stole the whole movie from everyone else.
