Peter O'Toole is the most nominated actor in this category without a single win. Spencer Tracy and Laurence Olivier were nominated a record nine times. Daniel Day-Lewis has won the award a record three times. Since its inception, the award has been given to 85 actors. Starting with the ninth ceremony in 1937, the category was officially limited to five nominations per year. The following year, this system was replaced by the current system in which an actor is nominated for a specific performance in a single film.
During the third ceremony in 1930, only one of those films was cited in each winner's final award, even though each of the acting winners had two films following their names on the ballots. At that time, all of their work during the qualifying period (as many as three films, in some cases) was listed after the award. In the first three years of the awards, actors were nominated as the best in their categories. Currently, nominees are determined by single transferable vote within the actors branch of AMPAS winners are selected by a plurality vote from the entire eligible voting members of the Academy.
The 1st Academy Awards were held in 1929 with Emil Jannings receiving the award for his roles in The Last Command (1928) and The Way of All Flesh (1927). The award is traditionally presented by the previous year's Best Actress winner. It is given to an actor who has delivered an outstanding performance in a leading role in a film released that year. The Academy Award for Best Actor is an award presented annually by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS).
