Jessica Lange, George Clooney, Sigourney Weaver, Jeff Bridges: SAG Awards Photos

Jessica Lange, Jeff Bridges and wife Susan. Lange and Bridges co-starred in Dino de Laurentiis‘ 1976 version of King Kong, which was deemed much inferior to the original. Despite the film’s box-office success (though somewhat less than expected), Lange was all but unemployable for the next few years. Things began looking up for her again following a supporting role in Bob Fosse’s Oscar-nominated All That Jazz (1979). She really came into her own as an actress in Bob Rafelson’s The Postman Always Rings Twice (1981), in which she co-starred with Jack Nicholson.
This year, Lange was up for a SAG Award for best actress in a television movie or miniseries for her performance in Grey Gardens. Her co-star, Drew Barrymore, [...]

Oscar Answer #6

Oscar Answer No. 6
That’s Barry Fitzgerald (right, with Bing Crosby and Rise Stevens), who received best actor and best supporting actor nominations for his role as the cranky but golden-hearted elderly priest in Leo McCarey’s syrupy Going My Way (1944). Fitzgerald lost the best actor Oscar to Bing Crosby, the official star of Going My Way, but won the best supporting actor award.
Academy rules were then changed to prevent any more double nominations for the same role.
Other performers who have been nominated in the same year, but for different films, are:

Fay Bainter in 1938 (lead in White Banners, supporting in Jezebel);
Teresa Wright in 1942 (lead in The Pride of the Yankees, supporting in Mrs. [...]
