Will JGL be the first actor to get Oscars for both best Actor/Supporting Actor?

Not sure if this has happened before but he has plenty of material where he deserves both awards. I would be shocked if he doesnt get a nod for his roles in Looper and The Dark Knight Rises. Anyone else agree?

Also he is in Lincoln which already has Oscar buzz so he has a chance with the supporting actor award for that. It would be amazing to see him win it then go against his costar DDL for best Lead Actor.

Highly doubt it.

If he didn't get a nod for "50/50", he sure as hell isn't getting one for those 2 films. Neither of those films are among his better performances. If someone gets the Best Supporting Actor nomination of TDKR, its Michael Caine, not JGL. Highly doubt he gets nominated this year.

this is straight up dumb. the love for this good, but terribly overrated actor on this message board is borderline childish.

FWIW it's never happened before in the same year
In 1944 a guy got nominated in both categories for the same role, and won supporting
Barry Fitzgerald (with Bing Crosby) in Going My Way

JGL in Looper was amazing and deserves a shot at the Oscar. Dude has PAID his dues and finally deserves recognition.
He's "PAID his dues"? How, exactly, has he PAID his dues?
I like the dude, and he's a good actor, but the fawning all over him around here is laughable sometimes. You really think he'd get a nomination for TDKR? He was a minor character in that. Hardy, Caine, Hathaway, Oldman, and Freeman (maybe even Cotillard) would all deserve it more than JGL...and I'd be surprised if any of them got nominated (except maybe Michael Caine..he's awesome).
Looper was really good, but nothing JGL did was spectacular or anything. It was a fun sci-fi movie. I'm not up on how the Academy comes up with the nominations, but I'd be surprised if he got a nod for Looper, and absolutely shocked if he got anything for TDKR.

Not even a little bit.
ETA: I'm talking about specifically to this thread...I'm sure if JGL stays in the business that he'll eventually win some awards. He's a good actor, sure. But Looper and TDKR aren't the best examples of why he's good. I agree with whoever it was that said that if he didn't win awards for 50/50, then these two movies certainly shouldn't win him anything.

JGL isn't even in the hunt for the acting categories this year. I wouldn't even call him a dark horse for either category.

There was nothing in that movie that was award-winning material. The movie, directing, writing, acting, etc. was nothing special.

So JGL is starting to get hated on and Batman is starting to suck.

If it came down to JGL vs. Fassbender for the "Fanboy Oscar" - THAT would be a pretty tight race.
