US actress Laura Dern with mom actress Diane Ladd. Dern, nominated for a best supporting actress award for "Marriage Story," comes from Hollywood royalty. While dad Bruce and mom Diane Ladd are no strangers to the Oscars, Laura would be the first in her family to actually win the award. In 1992, Dern and Ladd became the first mother-daughter duo to receive Oscar nominations for work on the same film -- "Rambling Rose." Ladd was nominated two other times. Bruce Dern has earned two Oscar nods during his decades-long career -- in 1979 for "Coming Home" and in 2014 for "Nebraska." Dern, who was also nominated twice before this year, starred in two major releases in 2019 -- "Marriage Story" and the Academy Award contender "Little Women."
