Bette Davis is incorrectly listed as having won an Oscar for "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane". Wasn't it Anne Bancroft that won that year?

Bette Davis is incorrectly listed as having won an Oscar for "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane". Wasn't it Anne Bancroft that won that year? I believe both Bette Davis and Joan Crawford were nominated for Best Actress for "Baby Jane" but I believe Anne Bancroft won for "The Miracle Worker".

Davis is listed as a nominee, and Bancroft is listed as winner.

Perhaps you are misreading the display on the film's award page, where "Winner" only applies to the first category listed (Costume Design). You wouldn't be the first to misunderstand the layout.

The following IMDB under the film's name shows Bette Davis as having won an Oscar for "Baby Jane". Take a look at:

It doesn't show that. There is a horizontal line separating the category that the film won from the categories that the film was only nominated in.

If that's not what you see, you could take a screenshot and post it
