Both Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, who were wed for two years until divorcing in September 2016, have won an Oscar Award.

Because of their performances in Being the Ricardos and Parallel Moms, respectively, Bardem and Cruz were nominated for lead actor and lead actress awards in 2022.

James Cameron and Kathryn Bigelow, a former couple, had the unfortunate distinction of going head-to-head for honours during the 2010 Best Picture and Best Director competitions, while the majority of celebrities have been fortunate enough to congratulate their partners on different occasions.
