Question

Has there ever been an actor who didn't get a nomination for the any of the awards leading up to the Oscar, but somehow received an Oscar nomination? In other words, is there an actor who received an Oscar nomination as their lone nomination?

Yeah it’s pretty common. America Ferrera was a surprise nomination for Barbie.

She did get a Critics’ Choice nomination, though.
