Double hitters: Every actress who competed at the Oscars and Emmys in the same year [PHOTOS]

Less than four weeks before Eva Marie Saint (“On the Waterfront”) bested Claire Trevor (“The High and the Mighty”) in the 1955 Best Supporting Actress Oscar race, the pair were jointly defeated by Judith Anderson (“Macbeth”) in the Emmy category of Best Single Performance by an Actress. This made them the first of 63 women to compete for the top film and TV performance honors in a single year. Scroll through our photo gallery to find out who has followed in their footsteps.

Eighteen members of this group prevailed at the Oscars but lost at the Emmys while another 15 did the opposite. The only actress who has ever won both awards in a 12-month span is Holly Hunter (1993-1994 – Emmy: “The Positively True Adventures of the Alleged Texas Cheerleader-Murdering Mom”; Oscar: “The Piano”). An even dozen women – from Lee Grant (1971; 1976-1977) to Olivia Colman (2019; 2020-2022) – each achieved such dual nominations on more than one occasion.

This gallery only factors in competitive Oscar, Primetime Emmy, and Daytime Emmy nominations in categories strictly reserved for performers. For consistency, each nomination is listed with its corresponding ceremony date in parentheses.
