Cloris Leachman's capacity for despair--and her ability to throw a coffee pot across the room--to say nothing of that bathrobe!--earns her the Academy Award for her portrayal of Ruth Popper in 1971's "The Last Picture Show," but it means Barbara Harris didn't take home a much-deserved Oscar for her genius work in the otherwise wackadoo "Who is Harry Kellerman and Why Is He Saying Those Terrible Things About Me?"
