I was fortunate to attend the 61st AA, when Kevin Klein won for A Fish Called Wanda. You may recall that one of the other nominees was Dean Stockwell, for Married to the Mob.
I happened to be walking back into the main theater from the bar immediately after the announcement for Kevin Klein. As I walked in Dean Stockwell came storming out, looked at me and said, "who the hell is Kevin Klein". He wasn't quite as debonair at that moment.
