Double Oscar Nominees

With so many composers scoring multiples of films each year, it's not surprising that composers have received multiple nominations from the Academy Awards. It almost seems like a given through the Academy history that any composer's double nomination will cancel each other out. The times the composer has won against themselves has only happened in 1941, 1977 and 2014.

A few things to note:
1. Notice the prolific writing and mass nominations of Max Steiner, Victor Young, Alfred Newman and John Williams.

2. Just by submitting a score for nomination from 1937-1945, you could receive a nomination, hence the multiple double and regular nominees.

While it's not as rare as you think, here is a list of those double (or triple) occurrences throughout the Academy Awards history.
