Reply to comment by hotpants86 in TIL that Al Pacino boycotted the 45th academy awards in 1973, because despite having more screen time than Marlon Brando, he was nominated for best supporting actor and not best actor. by VengefulMight

I would bet that most of the time if they are spending the large amount not of money it costs to campaign for an Oscar nomination they would want to win.

I'm not saying it's right to be nominated in the lower prestige category than the role you played, I'm just saying it's not uncommon.
