No. John Wayne's two Academy Awards nominations were in the Best Actor category. His first nomination was for his performance as Sgt. John Stryker in the 1949 action film "Sands of Iwo Jima." He won the 1969 Best Actor for his turn as U.S. Marshal Reuben J. "Rooster" Cogburn in "True Grit."

Did any movie ever win Oscars for both best actor and best supporting?

Yes, though it's not all that common. The first year Best Supporting Actor was a category was 1936, so out of a potential 77 times the awards could have been given to actors in the same movie, it's only happened 4 times so far. It's not quite the Kiss of Death for a Best Actor nominee if his costar picks up Best Supporting Actor, but it is close. (To some extent, this makes sense ... if people come out of a movie talking about how good a supporting actor was, it may be an indication that the lead actor was kind of blah.)The first was 1944's Going My Way with Bing Crosby (Best Actor) and Barry Fitzgerald (Best Supporting Actor).Others (I'm just going to list movies and years, not the actual winners, because I don't feel like typing that much)1946 The Best Years of Our Lives1959 Ben-Hur2003 Mystic RiverThe 2013 awards haven't occurred yet, but there are four films that have nominees for both awards, so it could happen again.


Who is the youngest winner of the Oscar for Best Actor?

Adrian Brody, 29, for The Pianist (2002). I have to mention Timothy Hutton. He was 20 when he won for Ordinary People (1980). Though obviously the lead role in the movie, he was nominated for Supporting Actor, to avoid competition with Robert de Niro (who won for Raging Bull).
