What does Michael Fassbender and Sally Hawkins have in common?

They both missed out big for the first time to be nominated for lead (Happy Go Lucky and Shame). But then later on received consolation nods for Supporting (Blue Jasmine and 12 Years a Slave), finally admitting them into the rest of the party. Eventually the Academy finally opens up and gives them their eventual Leading nods (Shape of Water and Steve Jobs) in the end.
