Other second-time nominees include Robert Downey Jr, Amy Adams, Penelope Cruz and the late Heath Ledger, who is highly expected to win this year for his signature role in The Dark Knight.
First time nominees for an Oscar award are Richard Jenkins, Frank Langella, Mickey Rourke, Josh Brolin, Michael Shannon, Anne Hathaway, Melissa Leo, Viola Davis, Taraji P. Henson.
Meryl Streep has maintained her record for being the most nominated Hollywood actress. Her 2009 nomination is already her 15th.
Sean Penn meanwhile has his 5th nomination and Kate Winslet gets her 6th nod in just a span of 13 years.
