When the Golden Globes got it right (and the Oscars didn't) by Egantx7

Question 7

O'Toole's loss for Lawrence at least went to an actor in a notable historic performance. When O'Toole won the Globe and lost the Oscar for his critically acclaimed role as Henry II in The Lion in Winter, he lost to this guy who might have won on the tasteless "Tropic Thunder rules". Identify this actor who beat out O'Toole for playing the title character in the all-but-forgotten film, Charly, but who is best remembered to younger audiences for lecturing Tobey Maguire about power and responsibility in Spider-Man.
