So there are about 10 instances I can think of where a certain actor was in a Best Picture winner, and was Oscar nominated that same year, but for a different movie. Which are…
Wallace Beery in 1931/32 – The same year he won Best Actor for The Champ (in a tie with Fredric March for Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde), he also appeared in the Best Picture winner, Grand Hotel.
Thomas Mitchell in 1939 – The same year he won Best Supporting Actor for Stagecoach, he also appeared in the Best Picture winner, Gone with the Wind.
Ingrid Bergman in 1943 – The same year she received a Best Actress nomination for For Whom the Bell Tolls, she also starred in the Best Picture winner, Casablanca.
Gloria Grahme in 1952 – The same year she won Best Supporting Actress for The Bad and the Beautiful, she also appeared in the Best Picture winner, The Greatest Show on Earth.
Natalie Wood in 1961 – The same year she received a Best Actress nomination for Splendor in the Grass, she also starred in the Best Picture winner, West Side Story.
Vanessa Redgrave in 1966 – The same year she received a Best Actress nomination for Morgan – A Suitable Case for Treatment, she also appeared in the Best Picture winner, A Man for All Seasons.
John Gielgud in 1981 – The same year he won Best Supporting Actor for Arthur, he also appeared in the Best Picture winner, Chariots of Fire.
Terrence Howard in 2005 – The same year he received a Best Actor nomination for Hustle & Flow, he also appeared in the Best Picture winner, Crash.
Leonardo DiCaprio in 2006 – The same year he received a Best Actor nomination for Blood Diamond, he also starred in the Best Picture winner, The Departed.
Tommy Lee Jones in 2007 – The same year he received a Best Actor nomination for In the Valley of Elah, he also appeared in the Best Picture winner, No Country for Old Men.
Are there any other examples I’m missing?
