John Malkovich took Best Actor, the Volpi Cup, for Wild Horse Nine on Saturday. [1] Reuters listed it in the same competition table as Woman Unknown and Possible Love. [1] A Volpi Cup is not an honorary Golden Lion. Clooney and Burstyn already hold those. [2] Print Malkovich. Do not convert the cup into a lifetime prize.

Deadline's wrap kept Horizons acting prizes on a separate list. [2] Riccardo Scamarcio in Horizons is not Malkovich in competition. Two actor names are two actor names. Do not merge them.

Saturday awards Wild Horse Nine once. A U.S.-Chile production credit is not a box-office print. Print the cup. Leave a second actor night to the edition that owns one. Saturday awards once.

Volpi Cups have a habit of preceding Oscar nominations, though the correlation is looser than publicists claim. Malkovich's shelf already documents one such trajectory. Saturday adds another line to the résumé.

Resumes lengthen; Oscars speculate. Saturday lengthens one. Publicists claim the rest.

Claimed rest is publicity; Saturday claims a Volpi Cup. One award, one night. Oscars belong to later seasons.

Volpi Cups feed Oscar nominations, though the correlation is looser than publicists claim. Saturday adds a line to the résumé. Oscars belong to later seasons.

The Volpi Cup is Saturday night's actor prize. Woman Unknown took the Golden Lion. Oscars are another season's speculation.

The Volpi Cup is Saturday's actor prize. Woman Unknown already spent the Golden Lion. Oscar talk is another season.

The Volpi Cup is Saturday's actor prize. Woman Unknown already spent the Golden Lion. Saturday's actor prize is Malkovich, not an Oscar.
