'Os Verdes Anos' (1963) won the 'Best First Film' (Silver Sail) award at the Locarno International Film Festival.
Relevant if the user was asking about the 1963 film.

#M ANNOTATED LLM RESPONSE

My understanding is that "The Green Years" was released in 1946, not 1963.

As far as I know, none of the actors in "The Green Years" (1946) won or were nominated for any major awards like the Oscars or Golden Globes for their performances in that specific film. While Charles Coburn, who played Grandpa Gow, was a well-respected character actor and had won an Oscar previously for "The More the Merrier," he did not receive any award nominations specifically for his role in "The Green Years."

I am not aware of any other actors from the film receiving award recognition either.

#F CORRECTION FEED (CLICK TO SEARCH)

[1] The film 'The Green Years' was indeed released in 1946. There is no 1963 film of this name; the user likely had the date wrong.
[2] Charles Coburn was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in 'The Green Years'.
[3] Charles Coburn received an Oscar nomination for his role as Alexander Gow in this specific film.
[4] While it is true that no other actors (besides Coburn) were nominated for major awards, the statement reinforces the incorrect claim that no actors were recognized at all.

#O MISSED POINTS & OVERSIGHTS

High
Charles Coburn's Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor.

The AI summary explicitly denied the existence of any major award nominations for the actors, missing the film's most significant acting accolade.

High
The list of competitors Charles Coburn was up against.

The user specifically asked who the actors were up against. Because the AI failed to find the nomination, it did not provide the list of competitors (Harold Russell, William Demarest, Claude Rains, and Clifton Webb).

Low
The film's nomination for Best Cinematography.

While the query focused on actors, the film received a second Oscar nomination for George Folsey's cinematography, which provides relevant context for the film's prestige.
