3. Alexandra Desplat is also a double nominee, but in the same category. The composer was nominated twice for Best Original Score for The Grand Budapest Hotel and The Imitation Game. The last person to pull off such an achievement was Steven Soderbergh who was nominated for Best Director for Erin Brockovich and Traffic in 2000.

They are Reese Witherspoon (Inherent Vice, Wild), Andy Serkis (Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies), Mark Ruffalo (Begin Again, Foxcatcher), and Chris Pratt (Guardians of the Galaxy, The LEGO Movie). Though, none of their films are up for the main award.

13. Boyhood star Ellar Coltrane wasn’t even born when director Richard Linklater released Dazed and Confused.
