Jack Nicholson is the only actor with 10 Best Picture nominated movies. 3 of them won the Oscar (One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Terms of Endearment, The Departed). The second spot holders are Gary Cooper and William Holden with 9 Best Picture nominated movies. Each with one Best Picture-winning movie (Wings, the first winner, for Cooper, The Bridge on the River Kwai for Holden). Olivia de Havilland holds the actresses' number one spot, with 8 Best Picture nominated movies. Only Gone with the Wind won the Oscar. There are several actresses with 7 Best Picture nominated movies, and quite a few actors with 8. One should take under consideration that there were years with more than five Best Picture nominees. (Living actors with 8: Harrison Ford, Dustin Hoffman) Jack Nicholson isn't the only one to appear in 3 Best Picture winners. Just to name three others: Dustin Hoffman (Midnight Cowboy, Kramer vs. Kramer, Rain Man), Trevor Howard (Around the World in Eighty Days, Lawrence of Arabia, Gandhi) and Diane Keaton (The Godfather, The Godfather II, Annie Hall).
