Name the film for which each of these people is nominated for an Oscar as best or supporting actor or actress: a. Jaye Davidson b. Jack Nicholson c. Catherine Deneuve

All three of these nominations were for the 65th Academy Awards, celebrating the films of 1992. In the Best Supporting Actor category, Hollywood titan Jack Nicholson and newcomer Jaye Davidson were competing against each other. Nicholson was recognized for his brief but electrifying performance as Colonel Nathan Jessup in A Few Good Men, a role immortalized by the courtroom declaration, "You can't handle the truth!" His nomination was one of twelve he would receive over his celebrated career.

Jaye Davidson’s nomination for The Crying Game, however, was a major surprise. Davidson, who was not a professional actor, delivered a captivating performance as Dil, a character at the center of one of the most closely guarded plot twists of the decade. The film’s shocking reveal and Davidson's nuanced portrayal made it a cultural phenomenon. In the end, both Nicholson and Davidson lost the award to Gene Hackman for his role in Unforgiven.

That same year, legendary French actress Catherine Deneuve earned her first and only Oscar nomination for Best Actress. She was honored for her leading role as a French plantation owner in colonial Vietnam in the epic drama Indochine. While Deneuve did not win the Oscar, her powerful performance brought international attention to the film, which went on to win the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.
