Two legendary actors — Christopher Plummer and Max von Sydow — are competing for the supporting actor trophy this Oscar season. Despite their pedigree, neither has won an Academy Award. Plummer is nominated for his turn as a widower who comes out of the closet in “Beginners,” while von Sydow plays an elderly man who doesn’t speak in “Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close.” If either wins, he will become the oldest performer to garner an acting Oscar. Both are 82 years old, with von Sydow, who turns 83 in April, 8 months older than Plummer.
