O'Toole nominated for BAFTA Best Actor award for "Venus"
Continuing his campaign for world domination, Peter has been nominated for Best Actor in the British equivalent of the Academy Awards, the BAFTAs. He's won one before - for his role as Lawrence in 1962's Lawrence of Arabia. He was nominated twice again for Becket in 1965 and The Last Emperor in 1989.
I'm told that half-page ads have been taken out supporting O'Toole's performance in Venus in Los Angeles, no doubt in preparation for Oscar voting. This is all so exciting! It could really happen this year.
