In the diner scene, he should have slashed his tires or punched a hole in one or two. That would have brought the driver out in the open and he could handle it from there.
Let's not forget who wasn't nominated: Robert Preston for THE MUSIC MAN; Roz Russell and Natalie Wood for GYPSY; Joan Crawford for BABY JANE; Robert Mitchum for CAPE FEAR; Montgomery Clift for FREUD; Jackie Gleason in GIGOT; James Mason and Peter Sellers in LOLITA; Frank Sinatra and Laurence Harvey in THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE; Sidney Poitier and Bobby Darin in PRESSURE POINT; Anthony Quinn for REQUIEM FOR A HEAVYWEIGHT;

Juanita Moore, the black mother, was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress only 3 years prior (for IMITATION OF LIFE) and even she wasn't credited! In today's world everybody and their pet cat is credited. I don't know which is worse.
