This actress is one of the greats in the film industry, and her performances have led her to be nominated for the Oscars several times.

True Detective, Jodie Foster

‘Oppenheimer’, ‘Barbie’, ‘Poor Things’... these names are some of the box office hits destined to triumph at the 96th Academy Awards ceremony, which will take place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on March 10th. From the beginning of the red carpet until the winners of the statuettes are announced, the event will attract the attention of a large number of viewers.


The romanticization and idealization of Hollywood are directly linked to the film industry, where the greatest productions are born and figures have become social icons. There are names that will endure over time thanks to their influence and extensive careers in the world of cinema, and as always, some of them will be present at the Oscars ceremony.

Among the favorite films to win several statuettes that dominate the lists of nominees in the most important categories, an unexpected guest has slipped in. ‘Nyad’, a film that tells the story of a former Olympic athlete and her coach embarking on a daring adventure, has carved out a place in two of the most important categories of the awards.

How many Oscars does Jodie Foster have and how many times has she been nominated for an Oscar?

Even if a film hasn’t been very well-known or acclaimed by audiences and critics, when it features two actresses of the caliber of Annette Bening and Jodie Foster, just what has happened may occur, that unexpectedly for many, they have secured a spot among the nominees for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress.

For Annette Bening, it’s her fifth nomination for the statuettes, just like for Jodie Foster, who is one of the greatest actresses of recent decades. Her impressive career has been recognized since she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the age of fourteen for her role in ‘Taxi Driver’. Forty-seven years later, she is once again a candidate in this category; in between, three nominations for Best Actress, of which she won twice. A triumphant return after 29 years without being nominated for a golden statuette for one of the most beloved figures in the world of cinema.

Best Supporting Actress (1977) – Taxi Driver
Best Actress (1989) – The Accused
Best Actress (1992) – The Silence of the Lambs
