Let’s settle this for once.

Who among the two actors has the greatest four-peat of consecutive Oscar nominations??

Marlon Brando (1951-1954) [A Streetcar Named Desire, Viva Zapata!, Julius Caesar, On The Waterfront]

Al Pacino (1972-1975) [The Godfather, Serpico, The Godfather Part 2, Dog Day Afternoon]

Brando is a legend, but Pacino in those 4 movies is better then 98% of all acting performances.

All four of Pacino nominations where oscar worthy, should have won for three of them.

Brando’s work was phenomenal and Pacino had the luxury of having watched those performances before he ever acted…that said the Pacino 4-peat is truly fantastic!

Did anyone else ever get 4 in a row? I was always surprised that William Hurt got close to it with Kiss of the Spiderwoman, Children of a Lesser God, Broadcast News and then missed for The Accidental Tourist.

They clearly liked Accidental Tourist since it got in for Best Picture and Geena Davis won in one of the biggest Oscar upsets ever.

Susan Sarandon could have been a 5-peater if she had a nomination for 1993.

Probably Pacino – all 4 indisputable classics (I’m not sure if Julius Caesar is one). Brando was the hotter one though :d

Let’s not forget Bette Davis and Greer Garson had 5 nominations in a row.

How did the user Liz Taylor not answer “Liz Taylor” when someone asks who else has 4 nominations in a row?

(Just kidding, thought it was funny seeing this question and then seeing a user named “Liz Taylor” as I was about to post her name.)

Also just gonna add in here that Bette Davis:

1938 – Jezebel (won)
1939 – Dark Victory
1940 – The Letter
1941 – The Little Foxes
1942 – Now, Voyager
(then missed ’43 but got in for ’44, so 6 noms in 7 years)

and Greer Garson:

(got in for ’39 but missed ’40, so also 6 noms in 7 years)
1941 – Blossoms in the Dust
1942 – Mrs. Miniver (won)
1943 – Madame Curie
1944 – Mrs. Parkington
1945 – The Valley of Decision

Have both gone for 5 in a row, which I’m pretty sure is the all time record.

Have anyone ever top that Pacino list of 4 amazing roles in a row?

Brando is really close. If you dont look at the nominations, Kidman has:
Eyes Wide Shut 1999
Mouling Rouge 2001
The Others 2001
The Hours 2002
Dogville 2003

I’d say Pacino films were better but Brando gave better performances. Nothing Pacino has done can touch Brando in A Streetcar Named Desire or On the Waterfront
