*** the only person in history to be nominated for the same role for both acting categories. The academy realized their mistake and made a strict rule prohibiting this. Technically an actor can be nominated in the same category twice in one year. For example, Kate Winslet could have possibly been nominated for Best Actress for "Revolutionary Road" for 2009 (along with her Best Actress nom for "The Reader") if she had received the votes.
