This has happened quite often, including twice in 1993. Here's the list - a * indicates they won the award 1938, Fay Bainter (Actress, WHITE BANNERS, Supporting Actress , JEZEBEL*) 1942, Teresa Wright (THE PRIDE OF THE YANKEES, MRS. MINIVER*) 1982, Jessica Lange (FRANCES, TOOTSIE*) 1988, Sigourney Weaver (GORILLAS IN THE MIST, WORKING GIRL) 1993, Holly Hunter (THE PIANO*, THE FIRM) 1993, Emma Thompson (THE REMAINS OF THE DAY, IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER) 2002, Julianne Moore (FAR FROM HEAVEN, THE HOURS) In contrast, only two actors have done this, and one's a bit of a cheat: 1944, Barry Fitzgerald (GOING MY WAY*) 1992, Al Pacino (SCENT OF A WOMAN*, GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS) Yes, Fitzgerald was nominated both as Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor for one role, something that couldn't happen today. He won for Best Supporting Actor.
