Thanks, Peebs!  (Re Burstyn's 14-second nomination, apparently the producers submitted her name without telling her.  Her reaction: "When they told me I was nominated for that I went, ‘What, are you kidding?’ My next ambition is to get nominated for seven seconds, and, ultimately, I want to be nominated for a picture in which I don’t even appear.”)  🙂

They were all Oscar-nominated for supporting roles, and each had less than 10 minutes of screen time.  Baddeley's is the shortest ever, at 2:19.  Dench and Quinn also won for their roles.

Yes, perfect answer, Bunny!  I hope you didn't get carpal tunnel syndrome from typing out all of Meryl Streep's nominations.  🙂

Embarrassing confession: I forgot that Bridget Fonda is Peter's son and not Jane's.  (I was thinking all the parents had won acting Oscars.)  So thanks for correcting me!

Great job + back to you...

I was thinking of movies that were set in the future when they came out but now those futuristic dates have passed.

Hint #2:   Think about when these futuristic movies take place and when the movie originally came out.

 2001:  A Space Odyssey (1968) is a more obvious example of what I'm going for.  

Well, relative to their release dates, each is these films is set largely in a near-future (16, 30/32, 26, 37, and 10 years later, respectively).  But maybe I'm not grasping what you mean by "setting"?

In any case, whatever you're driving at sounds like it must be pretty obvious, so if it ain't that, I'll just let someone else handle this one before I embarrass myself any further. Thanks for the hints!  🙂

Wow, Bunny, what an impressively thorough and beautifully formatted answer!  Buckets full of that highly-coveted "extra credit" for you.  🙂

To be honest, all I was looking for was "each is the son of a Best-Actor Oscar winner."  But all that additional info is great.  I'm especially surprised to see that Jeremy Irons was never Oscar-nominated for any other film (e.g., The French Lieutenant's Woman, Moonlighting, Lolita, or especially Dead Ringers).

Lovely job, and your thread.
