As a two-time Oscar winner, George Clooney has certainly seen his fair share of success at the Academy Awards. But in addition to these accolades, Clooney earned another Oscar distinction: he is the first actor to be nominated in six separate categories. More specifically, Clooney was nominated for Best Supporting Actor with Syriana, Best Actor for Michael Clayton, Up in the Air, and The Descendants, respectively, Best Director for Good Night, and Good Luck, Best Original Screenplay for Good Night, and Good Luck, which he shared with Grant Heslov, Best Adapted Screenplay for The Ides of March, which he shared with Heslov and Beau Willimon, and Best Picture for Argo, which he shared with Heslov and Ben Affleck and won. It’s clear that Clooney is among the most respected professionals working in the business today.
