9 Movies Nominated For Oscars In Multiple Years

While it’s not very common, a number of movies have been nominated for Oscars in multiple years. As a general rule, movies can not be nominated at the Academy Awards one year and then come back another year to try again, even in another category. However, there are exceptions to the rule, mainly if the film’s original nomination was in a category not requiring a U.S. release, and then their subsequent recognition came after its opening in America. This really only happens with movies initially submitted in the Best International Film category.
