Caine has been nominated for an Oscar six times, winning his first [[Academy Award]] for the 1986 film ''Hannah and Her Sisters'', and his second in 2000 for ''The Cider House Rules'', in both cases as a supporting actor. His performance in ''Educating Rita'' in 1983 earned him the [[BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role|BAFTA]] and [[Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy|Golden Globe Award for Best Actor]]. Caine is one of only two actors nominated for an Academy Award for acting in every consecutive decade from the 1960s to 2000s (the other one being [[Jack Nicholson]]); [[Laurence Olivier]] was also nominated for an acting Oscar in five consecutive decades (from the '30s through the '70s) as was [[Denzel Washington]] (from the '80s to the '20s). [[Paul Newman]] received acting Oscar nominations at least once per each of five distinct decades (from the 1950s to the 2000s)—albeit not consecutively, having been overlooked throughout the '70s.
