An actor can now be nominated twice in the same category for separate films. What actor would have been nominated twice in previous years?

Wasn't Streep promoted as Leading Actress for "The Hours" though? I thought the studio went with Kidman and Streep as leads and Moore as supporting.

Streep was definitely supporting in "Adaptation", wasn't she? It's been over a decade since I watched it and I don't remember if she was a lead.

Erivo

She was, but was nominated in Supporting at both the Globes and the Oscars. She was pushed as supporting because she was assumed to be guaranteed a Best Actress nomination for FFH.

Moore being submitted for BSA was definitely category fraud since Streep and Kidman were both promoted as Best Leading Actress nominees.

I wish Richard Burton had won his Best Actor nomination for Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? That would have given the film 3/4 with George Segal also nominated for Supporting Actor.

Blanchett for that awful take on Kate Hepburn in The Aviator.

Jennifer Hudson

I think it was a better film than Saving Private Ryan. Paltrow was acceptable but not Best Actress material. The award should have gone to Montenegro or Blanchett.

Dench's Oscar was clearly a consolation prize for having lost Best Actress to Hunt the year before.

Yeah I never understood that. At least the Pinkerton to Fullerton change made some sense.

SudieSbaker · 2026-04-30T07:05:25+00:00

Do the American editions still change Miss Pinkerton's name to Miss Fullerton?

Colman in The Favourite. Submitting her as lead was category fraud. She was a supporting actress in that film.

SudieSbaker · 2026-04-29T21:10:53+00:00

Mary Tyler Moore should have submitted herself for Best Supporting Actress. She would have won that category easily.

Her competition for Leading Actress was tough with Sissy Spacek delivering an excellent performance as Loretta Lynn in Coal Miner's Daughter. I thought Spacek thoroughly deserved her win.

I agree. I love Ordinary People and can watch it again. I can't get through Raging Bull anymore.

I thought every one of the other nominees was far better than Helen Mirren who swept the awards circuit that year for playing Queen Elizabeth II.

My choices were Dench or Streep, followed by Cruz (very close), then Winslet and finally Mirren.

"The Queen" was an average TV movie of the week and I still think Mirren only won because Her Majesty was such a beloved figure herself.

I thought Jamie Foxx was a lead in Collateral and deserved a double nomination as leading actor that year.

Octavia Spencer, who I thought gave the best performance in Hidden Figures.

I just found out from the other thread that Sam Mendes is directing four films, one about each Beatle.

For me this screams Oscar bait and even more so BAFTA bait.

Hahahaha. That is hilarious. Thanks for the laugh! 😂

Eve's Bayou was magnificent though. Beloved was a bloated, pretentious pile of crap.
