Oscars: All 8 times stars were nominated for playing U.S. presidents
Image
Sebastian Stan’s embodiment of a young Donald Trump in “The Apprentice” marks the first live action feature film portrayal of the 45th U.S. president (by someone other than himself). If this biographical performance brings the Marvel alum his first Oscar nomination, he will join seven other men who caught the academy’s attention by playing real-life commanders-in-chief. Scroll through our photo gallery to find out who presently belongs to that exclusive club.

This list technically includes eight entries, with Anthony Hopkins showing up twice as Richard Nixon (“Nixon”) and John Quincy Adams (“Amistad”). Nixon, who was also played by Frank Langella in “Frost/Nixon,” is one of two presidents mentioned twice here, with the second being Abraham Lincoln.

This group’s ratio of lead to supporting nominations is an even 3:1. As of now, 2013 Best Actor recipient Day-Lewis is the only person who has ever won an Oscar for playing an actual U.
