Paul Giamatti's awards history at the Oscars
Paul Giamatti is one of the most respected veteran actors in Hollywood, having been in countless films and television projects that earned critical and audience love over the years.
His performance in last year’s holiday dramedy The Holdovers earned him recognition in the Best Actor category at this year’s Oscars.
Has he ever won an Academy Award? As surprising as it is, this is only his second nomination in his career, and he’s still waiting on a win.
Giamatti earned a Best Supporting Actor nomination for 2005’s Cinderella Man, but he lost the category to George Clooney for his work in Syriana.
If he wins on Oscar night, it’ll be his first trophy in a long career of distinguished performances.
