categories — best director, actor and actress — we could see a first-time occurrence for the Academy Awards on Tuesday. However, if you read the tea leaves put forth by the nominations for the DGA and SAG, there’s a strong possibility that all three of those categories may not include a first-time nominee — a first in Oscar history.
SAG shockingly left off Kristen Stewart in the best actress category, who would be a first-time Oscar nominee. Instead, they nominated Jessica Chastain , Olivia Colman , Lady Gaga , Jennifer Hudson and Nicole Kidman . Best actress lineups with all former nominees occur more often than the other two categories. For example, the 2013 lineup had four winners, and one still unrewarded: Amy Adams , Cate Blanchett , Sandra Bullock , Judi Dench and Meryl Streep .
Before 1950, there has only been one other occurrence of all once-nominated filmmakers: for the celebration of 1931/32, which only nominated three directors, they recognized King Vidor , Josef von Sternberg and eventual winner Frank Borzage . The categories in question are 60% of what many consider the “big five” – which also includes the categories for best picture and either original or adapted screenplay. A total of 43 films have been nominated in all five of these categories in history, with just three successfully winning all of them – “It Happened One Night” , “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” and “The Silence of the Lambs” .
