Best Answer

No. When you consider that 1939 has been called the greatest year for motion pictures, it's no surprise that Gable's stellar performance in "Gone with the Wind" was passed over. The other nominees that year: Robert Donat for "Goodbye Mr. Chips," Sir Laurence Olivier for "Wuthering Heights," Mickey Rooney for "Babes in Arms" and James Stewart for "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington." The Oscar went to Donat.
