I stumbled across something interesting as I was researching Oscar and Golden Globe information for THE APARTMENT.
In 1960, the Hollywood Foreign Press gave Golden Globes in the category of Most Promising Newcomer (Male and Female). They had done this for years and would continue to do it for years to come.
At any rate, in 1960, there were six male nominees and three winners declared. Here's who won:
Michael Callan
Mark Damon
Brett Halsey
Now, look at the names of the three men who lost that year to these three "more promising" newcomers:
Peter Falk
David Janssen
Robert Vaughn
