Other Oscar Facts
The Directing nomination for Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert is the fifth time two credited directors have been nominated for the same film. Past nominations were for Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins, who won for West Side Story (1961); Warren Beatty and Buck Henry for Heaven Can Wait (1978); Joel and Ethan Coen, who won for No Country for Old Men (2007), and were nominated for True Grit (2010).
Steven Spielberg receives his 12th nomination for Best Picture, a record for an individual producer (since 1951 when producers were first named as nominees). He ties William Wyler, at 13 films each, as the director of the most films nominated for Best Picture. Spielberg’s ninth nomination for Directing ties him with Martin Scorsese for most nominations in the Directing category for a living person (only William Wyler, with 12 Directing nominations, has more).
With her nomination in the Best Picture category this year, Catherine Martin becomes the seventh woman with nominations in three or more award categories (4 – Chloé Zhao; 3 – Barbra Streisand, Sofia Coppola, Fran Walsh, Emerald Fennell, Jane Campion). She is the first person with nominations in both the Best Picture and Costume Design categories, and the second person with nominations in both the Best Picture and Production Design categories (not necessarily from the same film) after Kristi Zea.
