This was the last year until the 2005 Oscars where all five Best Picture nominations were also nominated for Best Director . '' Reds '' was the last film to gain nominations in all four acting categories until '' Silver Linings Playbook '' matched that feat at the 85th Academy Awards ceremony in 2013 . Facilitated in part by their advanced ages at the time ( 77 , 76 , 74 and a " young " 56 ) , this is also the most recent ceremony ( as of the 2017 presentation of the 89th Academy Awards ) for which the four acting award winners are all now deceased &ndash; though two of the four did live into their late 90s
