The other two were Z in 1969 and Life Is Beautiful in 1998, each of which took home the Oscar for foreign-language film. The 10 nominations for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon broke a record for nominations for a foreign-language film.
Life is Beautiful, which received seven, previously held the record.
Curtiz didn't win. Kate Hudson, best supporting actress nominee for Almost Famous, and mother Goldie Hawn join Diane Ladd and Laura Dern, and Judi Garland and Liza Minnelli as the only mother-daughter combinations to receive acting nominations. Composer John Williams, nominated for The Patriot, is the most-nominated person alive, with 39 nominations over his career. Corp. Information deemed reliable but is not guaranteed.
