Bradley Cooper, Helen Mirren Jane Fonda are three, four more make seven, where does the eighth come in?
I think it has something to do with co-stars but not really. Those three, as well as Teresa Wright and Daniel Day-Lewis were nominated for films in which one of their Oscar nominated co-stars had previously won two Oscars. Cooper/De Niro; Mirren/Maggie Smith; Fonda/Jack Lemmon but Wright/Bette Davis and Day-Lewis/Sally Field would also qualify. All had Oscar-winning male co-stars in films in which they were both nominated, Mirren/Christopher Plummer (in retrospect); Fonda/Gig Young as well as Wright/Gary Cooper and Day-Lewis/Tommy Lee Jones. Neither of these scenarios fit Carole Lombard in any way.
