The Oscar Double
While Pacino only has a single Academy Award win under his belt, he holds a very unique position among nominees: He’s among about a dozen actors to be nominated twice at the Academy Awards for acting in the exact same year (Scarlett Johansson is the most recent, she pulled it off last year with a Supporting nomination for Jojo Rabbit, and a Leading nomination in Marriage Story).
In Pacino’s case, he was nominated for Glengarry Glen Ross in the Supporting Actor category the same year he was nominated for Scent of a Woman in Best Lead Actor category (and that’s the Academy Award he ultimately won).
