• Actress Meryl Streep remains the most-nominated performer in Oscar history with a 17th nomination for her performance as Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady. She is also a three-time Primetime Emmy nominee and a two-time winner — in 1978, for the NBC miniseries Holocaust and 2004 for the HBO movie Angels in America.

• Actor, director and screenwriter George Clooney, a three-time Primetime Emmy nominee who was honored with the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award at the 63rd Primetime Emmys in 2010, picked up two nominations for two different feature films — one for his leading role in The Descendants and one in the adapted screenplay category for The Ides of March.

• Melissa McCarthy, winner of the Primetime Emmy for outstanding lead actress in a comedy series for the CBS series Mike & Molly, scored an Oscar nomination for best supporting actress in the hit comedy Bridesmaids.

• Bridesmaids also earned a nomination for best original screenplay, which was written by Saturday Night Live star — and three-time Primetime Emmy nominee — Kristen Wiig, along with Annie Mumolo.

• Glenn Close, who has 11 Primetime Emmy nominations and three wins — in 1995 for the NBC movie Serving in Silence: The Margarethe Cammemeyer Story, and in 2008 and 2009 for the FX series Damages — received her sixth Oscar nomination with this year's best actress nom for Albert Nobbs.

• Composer John Williams, who already has five Oscars, earned his 46th and 47th nominations for the original scores of War Horse and The Adventures of Tin Tin. Williams also has six Primetime Emmy nominations, and has won three times — in 1969 for NBC movie Heidi, in 1972 for the NBC movie Jane Eyre and in 2009 for the long-running PBS series Great Performances.
