The films listed here are ones with winners only. It's already listed on the first page of this thread.

Therefore, Amistad only qualifies for 3:

1 Lead (Hopkins), 2 Supporting (Freeman, Paquin).

Amistad will get upgraded to 2 Lead, 2 Supporting should McConaughey or Ejiofor win when the Oscars winners are announced.

I suppose a thread could be started up for films with nominees & winners but it would go on too many pages.
