No actor won both awards in the same year.
He has been nominated as Director and and Writer of Good Night and Good Luck. (2005) and won that same year as Best Supporting Actor for Syriana (2005). And two years later was nominated as Best Actor for Michael Clayton (2007).

He lost Best Actor to co-star Bing Crosby. Al Pacino was nominated as Best Supporting Actor for Glengarry Glen Ross and won Best Actor for Scent of a Woman (1992). Jamie Foxx was nominated as Best Supporting Actor for Collateral and won Best Actor for Ray (2004). Harold Russell won Best Supporting Actor for The Best Years of Our Lives (1946). He also won a special award for the role. George Clooney was nominated for Directing and Writing Good Night and Good Luck (2005), and won for Best Supporting Actor for Syriana (2005). I'm excluding actors who were nominated for acting and directing in the same year (Kevin Costner, Warren Beatty, Woody Allen, and more).
The "principal actor" is the same as "lead actor". This would be an actor who has a major role in the movie versus a supporting actor or an extra. An example would be Johnny Depp as Captan Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean versus Geoffrey Rush as Captain Barbossa.
Jamie Foxx was the first black actor to receive two acting nominations in the same year. He was nominated for Best Actor for Ray (2004), and he was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for Collateral (2004). When he won the award for Best Actor, he became the youngest Black actor to win Best Actor (age 34).Lee Daniels was nominated for Best Director and Best Picture in 2009 for Precious.
Yes, but not for the same movie role. It's all because ofthebizarre 1944 Best Actor race in whichBing Crosby and Barry Fitzgerald were nominated for their performances as priests in "Going My Way." But Fitzgerald also was nominated in the Best Supporting Actor category for the same role. The rules were later changed so this couldn't happen again. As it turned out, Crosby won the Best Actor Award; Fitzgerald won for Best Supporting Actor. No one has ever won two competitive Oscars for actingon the samenight. Besides Fitzgerald, 10 other people have had dual nominations. The last person wasCate Blanchett, who was nominated for Best Actress of 2007 for "Elizabeth: The Golden Age" and Best Supporting Actress for "I'm Not There." Unfortunately, shedidn't receiveeither award.
No. But Marlon Brando and Robert De Niro won Oscars in different categories for their performances as Don Vito Corleone. Brando won (but infamously declined) the 1972 Best Actor award for "The Godfather." De Niro won the 1974 Best Supporting Actor award for "The Godfather Part II."
Jamie Foxx.
Jamie Foxx was nominated for both Best Actor (for Ray) and Best Supporting Actor (for Collateral) in 2004, winning for Ray, of course. The only other male actor was Al Pacino who was nominated for both Best Actor (for Scent of a Woman) and Best Supporting Actor (for Glengarry Glen Ross) in 1992, winning for Scent of a Woman.] And yes, both won for playing a blind man in a lead role.
Yes, though it's not all that common. The first year Best Supporting Actor was a category was 1936, so out of a potential 77 times the awards could have been given to actors in the same movie, it's only happened 4 times so far. It's not quite the Kiss of Death for a Best Actor nominee if his costar picks up Best Supporting Actor, but it is close. (To some extent, this makes sense ... if people come out of a movie talking about how good a supporting actor was, it may be an indication that the lead actor was kind of blah.)The first was 1944's Going My Way with Bing Crosby (Best Actor) and Barry Fitzgerald (Best Supporting Actor).Others (I'm just going to list movies and years, not the actual winners, because I don't feel like typing that much)1946 The Best Years of Our Lives1959 Ben-Hur2003 Mystic RiverThe 2013 awards haven't occurred yet, but there are four films that have nominees for both awards, so it could happen again.
Harold Russell won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his role in The Best Years of Our Lives (1946), for which he also received a special Oscar for "bringing hope and courage to his fellow veterans through his appearance [in the movie]". * Barry Fitzgerald was nominated as Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor for his role in Going my Way (1944), and won as Supporting Actor (he lost Best Actor to co-star Bing Crosby).Harold John Russell was training paratroopers at Camp MacKall, NC on June 6, 1944 when some TNT he was using exploded in his hands. He lost both hands. After receiving hooks, and training on them, he was chosen to make an Army training film called "Diary of a Sergeant". William Wyler saw the film and decided to change a character in his film "The Best Years of Our Lives" (1946) from a spastic to a double amputee. Harold Russell played 'Homer Parish'. For this role he received two Oscars, a Best Supporting and one for being an inspiration to all returning veterans.
No. An actor (or actress) cannot be nominated twice in the same category, unlike directors, composers, etc. In the past a nominated actor could have more than one movie associated with his nomination.
