Actors Who Received Oscar And Razzie Nominations For The Same Role

Ask any actor at mainly any degree of fame and notoriety they usually’ll most likely let you know that they dream of profitable an Academy Award for one among their performances. The award, additionally referred to as the Oscar, has been round since 1929 and is given, annually, to the perfect cinematic achievements and performances. (Effectively, that is the concept, however sometimes, performances and movies win Oscars that perhaps should have gone to other nominees, which is its personal factor totally.) Whether or not you are simply nominated otherwise you take residence the gold in the course of the ceremony, “Oscar nominee” and “Oscar winner” get completely tacked onto your identify endlessly. It’s, I can solely think about, extremely particular!

Now think about that you simply’re an actor and also you get a name out of your crew telling you that you have been nominated for an Academy Award, you’ve got additionally been nominated for a Golden Raspberry Award. On the entire different aspect of the spectrum, a Golden Raspberry, normally simply known as a Razzie, cheekily honors absolutely the worst films and performances yearly; after the primary “ceremony” was held in 1981 in the lounge of founder John J. B. Wilson, they’ve develop into an odd type of trade staple, providing up doubtful “awards” for actors and administrators. (They do not give Razzies for manufacturing elements, which is sweet, truly.)

As of this writing, only one actor has won an Oscar and a Razzie in the very same year — Sandra Bullock for “The Blind Side” and “All About Steve” — however a handful of others have obtained nominations for each “awards” for the very same function, which is probably much more spectacular (in a bizarre approach). So who’re they, and what are the roles?

Directed by Glenn Jordan and penned by acclaimed screenwriter and playwright Neil Simon, “Solely After I Chuckle” — which is definitely tailored from Simon’s play “The Gingerbread Woman” — facilities round struggling actress Georgia Hines (Marsha Mason), who returns to New York after a chronic keep at a facility to try to overcome her alcohol habit. Upon her arrival, she reunites along with her two finest associates: socialite Toby Landau (Joan Hackett, who earned a finest supporting actress nomination on the Oscars) and equally struggling actor Jimmy Perrino (James Coco). Coco is, in fact, the individual on this undertaking with the excellence of incomes an Oscar and a Razzie nod for a similar function.

As Georgia tries to adapt to her sobriety — amidst some drama along with her ex David Lowe (David Dukes) and as she tries to be a very good mom to her daughter Polly (Kristy McNichol) — we additionally watch Coco’s Jimmy undergo a fairly tough journey, lastly reserving an enormous function in a play earlier than getting fired just a few days earlier than the primary efficiency. (Additionally, weirdly, Kevin Bacon performs a bit half on this film!) Each the Razzies and the Oscars took discover of Coco’s function as Jimmy, and the remainder is historical past. Coco misplaced the Oscar to legendary British actor John Gielgud, who took residence the award for his function as Hobson in Steve Gordon’s romantic comedy “Arthur” — and the Razzie for which he was nominated went to Steve Forrest, who performed Greg Savitt within the infamously campy drama “Mommie Dearest.”

Barbra Streisand might have gained a Golden Globe for her directorial characteristic debut “Yentl” in 1981 — a movie which additionally options her as its titular character, a younger Ashkenazi Jewish lady residing in a Polish shtetl who steadfastly refuses to get married — however her co-star Amy Irving acquired all the consideration from awards ceremonies in each good and dangerous methods. After Yentl’s father — who was secretly serving to her research the Talmud despite the fact that ladies are forbidden from doing such issues — passes away, she cuts her hair and poses as a boy named Anshel, the identify of her brother who additionally handed. That is the place issues get difficult, although … as a result of Yentl is so good at pretending to be a younger man that, when she enrolls in a Jewish faculty generally known as Yeshiva, a fellow scholar’s fiancée, Hadass Vishtower (Irving), begins falling in love along with her. Not solely that, however after Hadass’ engagement to that scholar, Avigdor (Mandy Patinkin), is named off, Hadass and “Anshel” find yourself married, although they apparent cannot consummate the union in the best way that Hadass most likely anticipated.

As Hadass falls for Yentl as Anshel, Yentl is herself falling in love with Avigdor, and after he is despatched away from the Yeshiva, the 2 find yourself discovering one another regardless of each of their earlier commitments to Hadass. So what competitors did Irving face for her function as Hadass at each ceremonies? Irving misplaced her Razzie to Sybil Danning, who, considerably astoundingly, gained it for two initiatives — the exploitation movie “Chained Warmth” and Lou Ferrigno’s tackle “Hercules” — and misplaced her Academy Award to Linda Hunt for her function as Billy Kwan in Peter Weir’s movie “The Yr of Dwelling Dangerously.”

In 2016, James Donald Bowman, who was then going by JD Vance, wrote a memoir referred to as “Hillbilly Elegy,” and in 2020, Ron Howard’s adaptation of the ebook hit Netflix. Regardless of blowback over the ebook and debates about whether or not or not Vance was truthful and even correct about his suburban Ohio origins — as a result of the ebook paints a slightly dire image of his upbringing — the film introduced in an all-star forged, together with Amy Adams as Vance’s mom Beverly, Freida Pinto as his eventual spouse Usha, Haley Bennett as his older sister Lindsay, and Glenn Shut as his well-meaning however tough grandmother Mamaw.

Clad in an unbelievably dangerous wig and caught in frumpy garments and outsized glasses, Shut — a usually great performer who was a favourite to win an Oscar simply two years prior in 2018 for “The Spouse” solely to lose in a shock upset to Olivia Colman for, sarcastically, “The Favorite” — is horrible in “Hillbilly Elegy,” and the movie isn’t particularly good either. (Each Adams and Shut actually give it their all, and that is each a praise and an insult.) Actually, essentially the most shocking factor about her double nomination in 2020 is that she even made it into the Oscar race within the first place. In the end, South Korean actress Yuh-jung Youn beat out Shut for the Oscar for her deeply felt and emotional efficiency as grandmother Quickly-ja in Lee Isaac Chung’s autobiographical movie “Minari.” As for the Razzie, Shut misplaced that awkward honor to actress and dancer Maddie Ziegler for her baffling efficiency in Sia’s equally baffling film “Music.”
