The year following the Oscars wound up being just as busy. “Sharing the nomination, which is kind of historical, but especially unique for both of us, and it brings even more awareness of how blessed (we are) by what we have received and we are still receiving,” Bardem told The Hollywood Reporter in February 2022. Though they ultimately didn’t take home the Oscar for either of their roles, the couple recognizes how special it is to be in their position. They were up for Best Actress and Best Actor, respectively, with her nomination coming for her role in Parallel Mothers and his for Being the Ricardos. In 2022, Cruz and Bardem made Academy Award history: it was the sixth time a married couple received Oscar nominations in acting categories in the same year.
