Double Nominees

13 actors have the distinction of being nominated for 2 Academy Awards in the same year. Out of the 13, only 5 did not win either one.


1931
Norma Shearer

Best Actress - "Their Own Desire"

Best Actress - "The Divorcee"



1931
Greta Garbo

Best Actress - "Anna Christie"

Best Actress - "Romance"



1939
Fay Bainter

Best Actress - "White Banners"

Best Supporting Actress - "Jezebel"



1943
Teresa Wright

Best Actress - "The Pride of the Yankees"

Best Supporting Actress - "Mrs. Miniver"



1945
Barry Fitzgerald

Best Actor - "Going My Way"
Best Supporting Actor - "Going My Way"

*** 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.

Best Actress - "Frances"

Liam Neeson, Colin Firth, Hugh Grant, Martine McCutcheon,

Love Actually revolves around an array of people dealing with... well, love around Christmas. It's funny, sad, heart-warming, and heart-wrenching. I especially love the Hugh Grant storyline.
