Although Gary Cooper won Best Actor for Sergeant York, he had two other equally important hits in 1941 without nominations: Ball of Fire, and Meet John Doe.
This rule was changed after the 1941 Academy Awards, when The Last Time I Saw Paris, from the film Lady Be Good, with music by Jerome Kern and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, won. Kern was upset that his song won because it had been published and recorded before it was used in the film.
