DID YOU KNOW:_This is the first year since 1973 that three African-Americans were nominated in the Best Actor/Actress categories. That year, Diana Ross (“Lady Sings the Blues”) and Cicely Tyson (“Sounder”) were nominated, along with Paul Winfield (“Sounder”).This year marks the first time that two African-Americans are nominated at the same time in Best Actor category (Will Smith, “Ali”; Denzel Washington, “Training Day”).Halle Berry rounds out the trio with a nomination for “Monster’s Ball.” _This is Russell Crowe’s third consecutive nomination in the Best Actor category, following “The Insider” (2000) and “Gladiator” (2001).If he wins, he will join Luise Rainer, Spencer Tracy, Katharine Hepburn, Jason Robards and Tom Hanks as back-to-back winners in the acting categories. _Dennis Muren, who is nominated for Visual Effects this year, is tied with composer Alan Menken with the most wins for any living individual (eight). Walt Disney is the all-time winner with 26 Academy Awards.
