Nomination vs Won — Beginner guide

bake_betty

I would like to know the difference between "nominated" and "won" with regards to movie awards. From what I understand: Won : The actor has received the award. Nominated : The actor has not yet received the award, but will receive it. But the confusion arises when the actor has been nominated in 2012 and has not yet received it(From IMDB). So shouldn't "nominated" be changed to "won"? Example : He was Nominated in 2005,2004....but has not "won"...

Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

Nominated : The actor has not yet received the award, but will receive it. No, it means the actor is one of several who is being considered for the single award. 4-8 may be nominated, but only one wins it.
