The Dame is the only Actress in the history of the Academy Awards to receive 6 Oscar Nominations all over the age of 60.
I can't wait to see her latest Oscar Nominated role
Anymore Oscar Trivia?

Posted: 1/25/07 at 3:53pmI was thinking of who has nominated in the most decades: Jack and Kate have both managed 5 each--anybody (actor) beat that?

Posted: 1/25/07 at 3:59pmI think he means which actor/actress have received the most nominations in the course of a single decade. Is this correct, dogs?
#4re: Oscar Trivia-Dame Judi Dench
Posted: 1/25/07 at 4:00pmI tought so too, but Kate Winslet's 5 nominations didn't occur in the same decade...so i'm confused.

Posted: 1/25/07 at 4:02pmMaybe Kate Hepburn? As in five DIFFERENT decades?
#6re: Oscar Trivia-Dame Judi Dench
Posted: 1/25/07 at 4:03pmNo--the actors who have received noms in the MOST decades, ie Jack--60s,70s, 80s, 90s, 00s....

OOOOOH.
I understand now. I thought you meant the MOST nominations within a decade.
HAHAHA.
I can think of a bunch of 4s, but not not more than 5.

Posted: 1/25/07 at 4:10pmJust looked it up and you're correct. Hepburn received nominations in the 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s and 80s. What a career!

Jack's tied her, don't forget...
Another little tidbit: Even though Sophia and Roberto got nominated for foreign language films, they aren't the only ones who won for foreign language performances: De Niro only speaks one line in English in GODFATHER II.
I was also thinking about the foreign actors who've received more than one acting nom:
Liv
Marcello
Isabelle
Sophia
who else?

Shortest performance that garnered an Oscar in a Lead category-Anthony Hopkins, Silence of the Lambs (15 minutes of screen time)
Youngest person to win a competitive Oscar-Tatum O'Neill, Paper Moon [age 8]
Shortest Best Picture winner-Marty (89 minutes)
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

It's unbelievable that that's all the screen time he had - talk about impact!

Whose is the longest performance in the supporting category?
Juliette Binoche? (Damn you, Harvey Weinstein, for robbing Lauren Bacall of her Oscar.)

Posted: 1/25/07 at 4:34pmLongest in supporting? Probably Timothy Hutton in ORDINARY PEOPLE.

It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

Posted: 1/25/07 at 4:56pmAC126748: Tatum O'Neal was 10 when she won the Oscar. Still, that makes her the youngest, since Anna Paquin was 11 when she won hers.
