Superlatives

No film has won all four awards; however, there are two films that hold the distinction of winning three out of the four categories they were nominated in:

• A Streetcar Named Desire (1951)
• Network (1976)

(Note: In 2022, Everything Everywhere All at Once also won three of the four acting awards, but is not included here because it was not nominated for Best Actor.)

Four of the nominated films hold a total of five nominations, each with an additional nomination within one of the four categories:

• Mrs. Miniver (1942) – two nominations for Best Supporting Actress
• From Here to Eternity (1953) – two nominations for Best Actor
• Bonnie and Clyde (1968) – two nominations for Best Supporting Actor
• Network (1976) – two nominations for Best Actor

Three of the nominated films failed to win any of the four awards:

• My Man Godfrey (1936) – also failed to win any other Academy Awards
• Sunset Boulevard (1950)
• American Hustle (2013) – also failed to win any other Academy Awards

Five performers were nominated for their work in two different films that received nominations in all acting categories (winners in bold):

• William Holden (Sunset Boulevard, Network)
• Warren Beatty (Bonnie and Clyde, Reds)
• Faye Dunaway (Bonnie and Clyde, Network)
• Bradley Cooper (Silver Linings Playbook, American Hustle)
• Jennifer Lawrence (Silver Linings Playbook, American Hustle)

Only one director has directed two films that received nominations in all four categories:

• David O. Russell (Silver Linings Playbook, American Hustle)

The 40th Academy Awards (1967) was the only ceremony in which multiple films held at least one nomination in all four acting categories:

• Bonnie and Clyde (5)
• Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (4)

Only two of the nominated films won Best Picture:

• Mrs. Miniver (1942)
• From Here to Eternity (1953)

Only one of the nominated films was not nominated for Best Picture:

• My Man Godfrey (1936) — Additionally nominated for Best Director (Gregory La Cava) and Best Adapted Screenplay

Only one of the nominated films was omitted from the Best Director and Best Screenplay categories:

• For Whom the Bell Tolls (1943) — Nominated for Best Picture, plus several below-the-line categories

All of the other films, with the exception of the aforementioned two, were also nominated for each of the non-acting "Big Five" categories: Best Picture, Best Director, and the applicable Best Screenplay (Original) or Adapted; or other Writing categories that have since been discontinued).
