The path to getting an Oscar nomination or win in any acting category ranges from year to year.

Not having a major screen presence has not stopped several people fromwinning Oscars with limited screen time.

Baddeley was still recognized for the excellence of her work in only two minutes of screen time.

Quentin Tarantino in Pulp Fiction and Clint Eastwood in the Dollars Trilogy

She lost to Shelley Winters (The Diary of Anne Frank).

This markedthe only Oscar nomination for Baddeley in her career.

With over double the screen time as Baddeley, this record was not within reach of being broken.
