From Angela Bassett to Michelle Yeoh, here is every Oscar-winning and Oscar-nominated actor in the MCU

Angela Bassett has made history as the first person to be nominated for their performance in a movie from the Marvel Cinematic Universe with her nod in the Best Supporting Actress category at the 2023 Oscars. However, despite the lack of statuette from the Academy, Bassett is far from being the only Oscar-nominated actress or actor in the MCU roster. Just this year, out of the 40 nominees in the acting categories, eight have been in an MCU film (keep reading to find out who). The acting talent in the Marvel Studios universe is no joke, from the fantastic Cate Blanchett to the iconic Samuel L. Jackson, here are all the MCU actors with Academy honors under their belt.

Bradley Cooper (nine nominations)

Bradley Cooper is not just a fan favorite among MCU fans, he’s an Oscar favorite too. The A Star is Born actor, who has voiced the beloved groucher Rocket Raccoon in the Guardians of the Galaxy films as well as Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, has found his way to the Academy’s nominees list nine separate times, for his acting, his producing work, and his writing. A true quadruple threat, four of Cooper’s movies have been up for the biggest prize of all, Best Picture, in the past — Nightmare Alley in 2022, Joker in 2020, A Star is Born in 2019, and American Sniper in 2015. He was also nominated for Best Actor three times, and once for Supporting Actor.
