Quiz: What roles were nominated for both a Razzie and an Oscar?
Only two roles have been nominated for an Oscar and a Razzie. One was James Coco in "Only When I Laugh." (I'm not laughing — that's an outrage! 'Twas a great performance. Just campy.) What's the other? To see the answer, click the "Continue Reading" link underneath the photos.
ANSWER: Amy Irving. Harvey Keitel and Jack Nicholson were nominated for Razzies for "Last Temptation" and "Hoffa," but not Oscars. Benigni won the Oscar for "Life Is Beautiful" in 1997, of course, but that role wasn't up for a Razzie. He won a Razzie in 2002 for "Pinocchio."

The question wasn't answered. But it had to be Amy Irving or Roberto Benigni since they were the only two of the four choiced nominated for an Oscar.

distinguished recognition for David Lynch: i believe he is the only director to be nominated by the AMPAS twice in the Best Director category for films that received no other nominations ("Blue Velvet' & 'Mulholland Drive').
(Martin Scorsese did likeways for 'The Last Temptation of Christ', but only once.)
