I’ve officially compiled a list of every Oscar-nominated performance that I believe to be a case of category fraud.
As it stands, there are 122 (out of the 1661 performances nominated since the introduction of the supporting categories). I’ll be posting 1 per day in this thread.
NOTES:
1. Brad Pitt (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood)
Won S, belonged in L.
Screen time: 34.21%
He has nearly as much screen time as Leonardo DiCaprio (only 3.7% less), and his story is equally as prominent. They exist independently from each other and are co-leads.
Just want to point out that Eddie Murphy has not only broken but *demolished* the record for longest span between 1st and 2nd acting Emmy nominations for the same program (37 YEARS).
• 1983 - Supporting Actor (Comedy) - SNL
• 2020 - Guest Actor (Comedy) - SNL
The record was previously held by Patrick McGoohan, who was first nominated for Columbo in 1975, and then again 15 years later in 1990. Both nominations resulted in wins.
Other long spans:
• Lisa Kudrow (Comeback) - 9 yrs
• Jason Bateman (Arrested Development) - 8 yrs
• Aida Turturro (Sopranos) - 6 yrs
• Marion Ross (Happy Days) - 5 yrs
And two more 2020 nominees:
• Fred Willard (Modern Family) - 10 years
• Maya Rudolph (SNL) - 8 years
• Oldest living Oscar-winning actor
• Oldest living Best Actress winner
• Oldest living Oscar-nominated actor
• Oldest living Best Actress nominee
• Oldest living Best Supporting Actress nominee
No one else has ever held as many titles at once, or at all.
She was also one of only three Oscar-winning actors to reach the age of 100. Her long life has caused the average life expectancy of Best Actress winners to increase from 77 to 78.
She is the first Oscar-winning actor we’ve lost since Dorothy Malone in January 2018. The gap between their deaths is the 4th largest of all time, with the 3 largest all occurring between 1934 and 1949.
