The Oscar nominees this year are incredibly diverse. Many well-known actors were nominated this year, including Denzel Washington, Will Smith, Penélope Cruze, and others. Denzel Washington became the most nominated black actor in history after receiving his ninth nomination for "Macbeth: A Tragedy." Jane Campion's "The Power of the Dog," which received 12 nominations, is the most nominated film this year. Will Smith was nominated for both "Best Actor" and "Best Picture," making him only the second black man to receive nominations for both acting and producing in the same year. Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem are the sixth married couple to receive acting nominations in the same year.
