From Lance McMillian:
Jeff Bridges, nominated for Best Actor for True Grit, now has six acting Oscar nominations in the best actor and best supporting actor categories. By my count, only ten male actors have been nominated for more acting Oscars than Bridges. Name them.
Pictured: Dodsworth (1936), which brought William Wyler the first of his twelve nominations for Best Director, the most of any nominee. No other director comes close (Billy Wilder is in second place with eight nominations).
Al Pacino?
Jack Nicholson is probably on the list. Possibly also Marlon Brando and Denzel Washington.
Pacino (8), Nicholson (12), and Brando (8) are on the list.
Interesting. I for sure thought that Jimmy Stewart, Robert Deniro or Tom Hanks would have more than six, but no. (5, 6, and 5 respectively.)
Peter O'Toole.
O'Toole (8) is correct, leaving six more.
Spencer Tracy and Laurence Olivier.
Richard Burton.
Jack Lemmon.
Paul Newman.
Spencer Tracy.
Tracy (9), Olivier (10), Burton (7), Lemmon (8), and Newman (9) are correct, leaving one more.
Dustin Hoffman?
Dustin Hoffman (7) is the last answer.
