Reader Jose Hernandez fixes an error in my post from last Thursday:

"If i remember correctly, recently, Soderbergh was nominated for best director for Traffic and Erin Brockovich at the same time, he won for Traffic, and sure that it has happened in the past.".

Good point. I can't believe I forgot that. Regardless of the fact that it could theoretically happen, I still don't see double noms for Eastwood and DiCaprio come OscarTime.
