Composer Alfred Newman (no relation to Alfred E. Newman, you goofball) was nominated for at least one Oscar every year between 1938 and 1960. Incredibly, in 15 of those 22 years, he was nominated for two or more, with four nominations in 1940 alone!
In his 40-year career, he was nominated for 45 Academy Awards, and won nine. (John Williams, whose career has lasted 25 years longer so far, has been nominated for 54, but has only won five to date.)
Alfred’s two brothers, two of his five children, and nephew Randy Newman have collectively received another 48 nominations and three wins, making them the most nominated family ever, with a total of 93 noms and 12 wins.
