Answer: "Starman" (Jeff Bridges)

Jeff Bridges portrays an alien in John Carpenter's 1984 release. In the first 78 years of the Academy Awards, Bridges' performance in "Starman" is the only non-human role nominated for an Academy Award in the 'Best Actor' category. Alec Guiness was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in "Star Wars" (1977) as Obi-Won Kenobi.

Answer: An American Werewolf in London

The Academy created the category in 1981, after much debate to do so the previous year, due to the brilliant makeup effects by Christopher Tucker for John Hurt as the title character in "The Elephant Man" (1980), directed by David Lynch and nominated for eight Oscars. Rick Baker created the astonishing makeup effects for "An American Werewolf in London" (1981), directed by John Landis. "The Thing" (1982), directed by John Carpenter, was not nominated for the award. "The Exorcist" (1973), directed by William Friedkin with makeup effects by Dick Smith, and "The Omen" (1976), directed by Richard Donner, were released before the award was ever created.
