ALBERT FINNEY
"Erin Brockovich"
Born: May 9, 1936, Manchester, England.
Nominated role: Pragmatic, small-time lawyer and one half (with Julia Roberts) of the year's best on-screen team.
Career highlights: An accomplished Shakespearean stage actor, he lit up the screen in 1963's "Tom Jones" and has since excelled as frayed characters trying to maintain a shred of dignity ("Under the Volcano," "The Dresser"). Nominated four times for best actor, but never a winner.
What Oscar would mean: Official acknowledgment for a long, often brilliant career on stage and screen.
