TOM WILKINSON
Michael Clayton
Oscar History: Two nominations, no wins – yet!
2008 Scorecard: The four-time nominee was up for a Golden Globe and a SAG Award.
Before He Hit Oscar: The British actor graduated from the University of Kent at Canterbury with a degree in English and American Literature.
To Be or Not to Be: "When I read the script, I knew what was going through [my character's] head," Wilkinson, 58, told Entertainment Weekly. "Imagine being pushed to the point where you're asked to do something that is in direct conflict with everything you've ever been taught about human decency. It's not unlike Hamlet."
