Just as I did this time last week with the actors, I’m now highlighting the actresses who received most or all of their Oscar nominations for a leading role. This list was even longer than their male counterpart, even after I divided it into two sets again. So this post only showcases the actresses who…
Last weekend, I highlighted all the actors who received four or more Oscar nominations throughout their careers, and this weekend I’m taking a look back at the actresses! So as I did last week, I’m kicking it all off today with the ones who received the most nominations in the supporting category. Note: This list…
As I’ve shown over the past two days, there have been many actors that have received a good handful of Oscar nominations. Today I conclude my look back at the actors who received six or more nominations, with most of their nods in the leading category. And as you’ll see, a couple of legendary actors…
Today I’m continuing my look back at the actors with the most Academy Award nominations in my lead-up to the Oscars ceremony toward the end of the month, this time in the leading category. This list is much longer than the supporting one, so I’m splitting the list into two parts. So for this post,…
The 91st Academy Awards are coming up toward the end of the month, and this year there are a few nominees in the acting categories who are receiving the latest of their many Oscar nominations. So to lead up to the ceremony this year, I wanted to look back at all the actors and actresses…
It was on this day 80 years ago that one of Hollywood’s brightest stars was born, Natalie Wood. She’s an actress who holds a special place in my heart, as she was one of the first stars I fell in love with when getting into classic Hollywood movies. In honor of her birthday, I wanted…
On this day 100 years ago, one of cinema’s finest actors was born, the great William Holden! He’s easily among my top 5 favorite actors of all-time (maybe even top 3 or 2!); no matter the quality of the movie he’s in, he always turns out a good performance. For his centenary, I’m focusing on…
Happy Oscar weekend! As is my annual tradition on this blog, it’s now time for me to make my predictions on which films will take home the Academy Award. And for the top eight categories (the four for acting, the two screenplay categories, Best Director, and of course, Best Picture), I’ll be including which of…
For my final post on nominees that never won an Academy Award, I’m looking at films nominated for Best Picture and at least one other category that ended up not winning anything. So while these films received multiple Oscar nominations, I still find them memorable today despite not taking home any gold. Note: I narrowed…
Today’s post concludes my look at the Oscar nominees who never won among the four acting categories, with what’s probably my favorite of those categories: Best Actress! More often than not, it’s the acting category that’s the strongest to me in just about any year in the Academy Awards’ 90-year history. Note: I narrowed it…
