#Q ORIGINAL QUESTION

Regarding the film The Green Years (1963), did any actors win any awards for their roles or get nominated, and who were they up against?

#M ANNOTATED LLM RESPONSE

There appears to be a common confusion between two distinct films with this title. While you asked about the 1963 film, that version is a Portuguese classic with no major acting awards. However, a famous 1946 film of the same name earned a significant Academy Award nomination for one of its stars.

Below are the details for both films to ensure you have the correct information.

**1. The Green Years (Os Verdes Anos), 1963**

This film is a foundational work of the Portuguese Cinema Novo (New Wave), directed by Paulo Rocha.

Main Cast: Rui Gomes (as Júlio) and Isabel Ruth (as Ilda).
Award Wins: The film won the Silver Sail for Best First Work at the 1964 Locarno International Film Festival. It also received the Cabeza de Palenque at the Acapulco Festival (1965) and an Honorable Mention at the Valladolid International Film Festival.
Actor Awards: There are no recorded major international or national acting awards or nominations for Rui Gomes or Isabel Ruth for this specific film. At the time, Portugal did not have an established "Academy" or "Golden Globes" equivalent. However, Isabel Ruth is widely celebrated today as the "face" of the Portuguese New Wave because of this role.

2. The Green Years, 1946 (Likely Intended)

If you are looking for a film where an actor received a major nomination, it is almost certainly the 1946 MGM adaptation of A. J. Cronin’s novel, directed by Victor Saville.

Actor Nomination: Charles Coburn

Charles Coburn was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Alexander "Dandie" Gow (the great-grandfather).

Who he was up against (19th Academy Awards, 1947):

Harold Russell in The Best Years of Our Lives (Winner)
William Demarest in The Jolson Story
Claude Rains in Notorious
Clifton Webb in The Razor's Edge

Other Nominations:
The 1946 film also received a nomination for Best Cinematography (Black-and-White) for George Folsey. He lost to Arthur Miller for Anna and the King of Siam.

#A DIRECT ANSWER (VERIFIED ANALYSIS)

The 1963 film The Green Years (Os Verdes Anos), directed by Paulo Rocha, did not receive any major acting awards or nominations for its cast (Rui Gomes and Isabel Ruth). However, the film itself won the Silver Sail for Best First Work at the 1964 Locarno International Film Festival, the Cabeza de Palenque at the 1965 Acapulco Film Festival, and an Honorable Mention at the 1965 Valladolid Film Festival.

It is likely you may be thinking of the 1946 film The Green Years, where Charles Coburn was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. He competed against Harold Russell (The Best Years of Our Lives - Winner), William Demarest (The Jolson Story), Claude Rains (Notorious), and Clifton Webb (The Razor's Edge).
