Remember - I said it applied to In the Heat of the Night, The Godfather, The French Connection and their winning leads (as well as Room at the Top), but not to those in Boy's Town, Going My Way or Terms of Endearment

You guys are so close and it is so obvious... As I said, it involves these winning lead actors and the films and decisions made by the producers/studios and/or the actors.
With what has been guessed already and what I have written, anything additional would be virtually giving the answer away.

Nope, thought I had it for a sec but French Connection threw me off.
I do know all had sequels/follow ups. I thought it was that the Oscar winning performer didn't appear in the sequel in the first 4, but Gene Hackman shot that to hell. hahaha

Sorry, total brain freeze at my end - of course Hackman was in French Connection 2 - Bama Ed had the right answer (as Moviebuff might have as well) - what I was going for is best lead acting winners who did not appear in the sequels -
Bama Ed is eligible to ask a question from yesterday (Chatan never did) - or if he still has none ready, Moviebuff can go ahead - I just wanted this to move forward
(I managed to do what others (not me) thought Moviebuff might have done; how ironic)
The sequel to Room at the Top came 6 years later - Life at the Top, with Laurence Harvey again, but not Simone Signoret

at least you got the "it's so obvious" part right...I thought about it right away, as I'm sure others did too...
What woman was the last to win the big 4 critics awards (NBR, NY, LA, NSFC), Globe, & BAFTA, but no Oscar?
Bonus, how many consecutive GG noms did she receive?

For a single film, or for a career? And not that there is another category likely, but are we talking actresses here (it would be a great trick question if it were another category...)

Sorry, for a single performance. Trying to get clothes & dishes washed plus supper cooked and play on facebook. Busy evening. hahaha
Single film

Sorry, BAFTA NOMINEE only for this role, but they have won a BAFTA, just not for this role.
My apologies :-(

It is Michelle Pfeiffer. She won the Globe. Just not the BAFTA.
Without looking (unless you have already), can you name her consecutive GG noms? How many wins?
seanflynn next question

Without looking her GG noms were for Married to the Mob, Dangerous Liason's, The fabulous baker boys, The Russia House, Frankie and Johnny, Love Field, The age of innocence.
I saw this in one of Tom's articles a few days ago, I believe.
Actually, she had 6 in a row, not 7. One of those does not belong. Which one though? :-)
