Meryl Streep and Katharine Hepburn[edit]

Although Meryl Streep has been nominated for a combined total of 14 times, only 11 of those nominations were for Best Leading Actress, while 3 of those nominations were for Best Supporting Actress. While Katharine Hepburn has been nominated "only" 12 times, all 12 of those nominations were for Best Leading Actress. Thus, in the Best Leading Actress category, Katharine Hepburn holds the most nominations. In the Best Leading Actress category, Hepburn also holds the most awards. Hepburn has won a total of 4 awards (all for Best Leading Actress), while Streep has won a total of 2 awards (1 for Best Leading Actress and 1 for Best Supporting Actress). This information is current as of the 79th Awards ceremony in 2007. (JosephASpadaro 06:57, 3 May 2007 (UTC))[reply]

But shouldn't it be mentioned she is the most nominated overall actress or actor in this superlative category?66.116.19.154 (talk) 23:38, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I agree. I have been thinking about the best way to introduce that information into the charts within this article. On a related note, see Academy Award for Best Actress#Superlatives and List of Academy Award records#79th Academy Awards - 2006 -- both of which do exactly what you are looking for. Thanks.

Jack Nicholson[edit]

Jack Nicholson's record stands as follows: Best Leading Actor (8 nominations with 2 awards) and Best Supporting Actor (4 nominations with 1 award). Thus, his combined total record is 12 nominations with 3 awards. This information is current as of the 79th Awards ceremony in 2007. (JosephASpadaro 06:57, 3 May 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Combined awards[edit]

The points listed above made this list inaccurate to me, so I corrected them and added a section for combined leading and supporting Oscars. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.173.191.14 (talk) 04:53, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
