Williams scored his third Academy Award nomination in the Best Actor category for his performance as Parry in The Fisher King (Tri-Star, 1991). Williams ultimately lost to Anthony Hopkins, who had delivered a chilling performance as Dr. Hannibal Lecter in Silence of the Lambs (Orion, 1990), which swept all the major categories at the the 1992 awards ceremony, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actress.
