On film in contention at this year’s Oscars earned nominations for both Best Actor and Best Actress: “A Star is Born.” How likely is it that both Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga will win Academy Awards on Feb. 24? In the 90 year history of the Academy Awards, leading players from the same film have prevailed just seven times:
Claudette Colbert and Clark Gable for “It Happened One Night” – 1935
Louise Fletcher and Jack Nicholson for “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” – 1976
Faye Dunaway and Peter Finch for “Network” – 1977
Jane Fonda and Jon Voight for “Coming Home” – 1979
Katharine Hepburn and Henry Fonda for “On Golden Pond” – 1982
Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins for “The Silence of the Lambs” – 1992
Helen Hunt and Jack Nicholson for “As Good as it Gets” – 1998
Note that Nicholson has been involved in two of these lucky seven pairings. And he is a good luck charm when it comes to his leading ladies.
