List of movies with more than one Academy Award nomination in the same category
These are lists of movies with more than one Academy Award nomination in a single category. There are five categories in which this is possible: the four acting categories, and Best Original Song.
As of the 81st Academy Awards, producers can submit at most two songs from the same film for Best Original Song; prior to this, four films received three nominations in the category.
There is no statutory limit on the number of acting nominees from the same film in a single category. As of the 95th Academy Awards, no film has ever received more than three; the last film to do so was The Godfather Part II, which received three nominations for Best Supporting Actor at the 47th Academy Awards.
The movie, year and nominees are listed, as well as the outcome at the ceremony.
