Correction: Because of reporting errors, several facts about the history of the Academy Award nominations were incorrect in a story in the Jan. 23 Living/Arts section about this year's nominations. Linda Hunt was the first woman nominated for playing a man, in "The Year of Living Dangerously," for which she eventually won the Oscar. The first time two people shared a nomination for best director was in 1961, when Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins won for co-directing "West Side Story." Actors nominated more than once for playing the same character were Bing Crosby, as Father O'Malley in "Going My Way" and "The Bells of St. Mary's"; Peter O'Toole, as Henry II in "Becket" and "The Lion in Winter"; and Al Pacino, as Michael Corleone in "The Godfather" and "The Godfather Part II."
Correction: A
Correction: A Washington Post story on Sunday's Nation pages about a New Baptist Covenant meeting this week in Atlanta misstated the role of former President Bill Clinton. He is speaking at the event but is not a cochairman.
