In the history of acting, who is the only person to receive an Oscar nomination for acting in a star-studded film? The answer may surprise you, but there are actually several people who have received such honors. These include John Williams, Gloria Stuart, Denzel Washington, and Kate Winslet. Read on to discover some of the most notable Oscar-nominated stars of all time.

John Williams

Throughout his career, John has received numerous accolades. Besides his five Oscar nominations, he has also won three Emmy Awards and six BMI Film and TV Awards. He has also been nominated for seven Grammy Awards, including Best Instrumental Composition and Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media. Among his many other honors, he has won a Grammy Award for the overture from the film “Galaxy’s Edge.”

Gloria Stuart

While the movie “Titanic” is a classic, the story of the movie’s ill-fated passengers was a very different one. The cast included Judi Dench and Kate Winslet, and Stuart herself received an Academy Award nomination for the role of the older Rose Dawson. However, Stuart’s career didn’t end with the movie. She died at the age of 100, and now holds the record as the oldest person to receive an Oscar nomination for acting in a star movie.

Kate Winslet

After receiving worldwide recognition as a co-star in the 1997 blockbuster “Titanic,” Kate Winslet chose to focus on smaller art house films in her native Britain. Her roles include quirky girlfriend in “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” and an 18th century asylum laundress in “Quills.”

Denzel Washington

Despite having been a leading box office draw, Denzel Washington has not dwindled in popularity. With 8 nominations and two wins, Washington is among the most respected actors of his generation. His list of films has spanned all of the typical Oscar archetypes, including performances in ‘Glory,’ ‘Cry Freedom’, and ‘Private Silas Trip.’ Moreover, his list of nods includes such actors as Robert De Niro, Jane Fonda, Daniel Day-Lewis, Ingrid Bergman, Dustin Hoffman, and Martin Lawrence, among others.

Jessica Chastain

A career that spans more than a decade, Jessica Chastain has won an Oscar and won three Golden Globes. Her first nomination came for her role in “Miss Sloane,” followed by a second for “Molly’s Game.” Since then, she has played a variety of complex roles, including those of a televangelist in the biopic “The Eyes of Tammy Faye” (2017). In addition to her acting in this film, she has also starred in “Miss Sloane” and “A Most Violent Year.” She also won the Critics’ Choice Award for Best Actress for her role in the miniseries “Scenes From a Marriage.”

Jessica Dunst

It may sound amazing, but two people have received an Academy Award nomination for acting in a star-studded film in the same year: Jessica Dunst and Jessica Plemons. The two actors are co-stars in Netflix’s hit Western Power of the Dog. They were married in real life, and this is the first Oscar nomination for either of them.

Jessica Plemons

Besides Dunst and Smit-McPhee, Jessica Plemons is also a nominee for Best Actor for her role in the Netflix Western Power of the Dog. Plemons and Dunst are real-life partners, and their nominations for the movie mark their first Oscar nominations. Despite their similarities, the actors share many similarities, and they are clearly in sync on set.
