Most nominations for a single actor in one night: 3

Some big-name superstars such as Meryl Streep may be able to bag two awards in one evening, but Jamie Foxx beats everybody with an amazing three award nominations in one night. The actor/comedian was nominated for three different projects: Ray (Best Actor in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy), Collateral (Best Actor in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture) and Redemption (Best Actor in a Mini-Series or a Motion Picture Made for Television).
