Actor: Christopher Plummer

Christopher Plummer won Best Supporting Actor for Beginners at eighty-two, becoming the oldest acting winner at the time, and was nominated again at eighty-eight for All the Money in the World.

That last performance was shot in nine days, replacing Kevin Spacey after the film was complete, which is close to unprecedented.

He called The Sound of Music The Sound of Mucus for decades before softening, and his real career was on the classical stage, where he won two Tonys and was regarded as among the finest Shakespearean actors of his generation.

The Last Station, Knives Out and The Insider fill out a late film career of unusual quality.
