Both Jacques Audiard (for Emilia Pérez) and Sean Baker (for Anora) received four nominations, becoming the 8th and 9th individuals to achieve this feat in a single year.[21][24][25][d] Additionally, the Best Director nominees—Audiard, Baker, Brady Corbet (for The Brutalist), Fargeat, and James Mangold (for A Complete Unknown)—are all first-time nominees in the category; the latter three all receiving three nominations. The last time an entirely new lineup of nominees competed in the director race was in 1998.[13][e] For the first time since 1978, all the films featuring Best Actress nominees are also nominated for Best Picture.[13] Sound mixer Andy Nelson continued to be recognized as one of the Academy's most honored individuals, receiving a nomination for Wicked; with a total of 25 nominations, he is second only to John Williams (with 54) for the most nominations for a living person.dyrryut6ui
