The actors that are part of the complete list of nominees are:
This is not the complete male nominee list. AFI’s official 250-male-nominee list also includes many winning legends, such as Fred Astaire, Humphrey Bogart, Marlon Brando, James Cagney, Gary Cooper and others that are omitted here.
Full reasoning
AFI’s official PDF for the 500 nominated star legends shows that the 250 male nominees included the eventual winners as well. In the official list, names such as Fred Astaire (#11), Humphrey Bogart (#28), Marlon Brando (#34), James Cagney (#42), Charles Chaplin (#50), Gary Cooper (#57), Henry Fonda (#87), Clark Gable (#89), Cary Grant (#96), Gregory Peck (#188), Sidney Poitier (#193), James Stewart (#227), Spencer Tracy (#233), John Wayne (#242) and others are all part of the 250 male nominees.
But the list shown under this sentence on the page starts with Abbott and Costello and omits those male winners from the nominee section entirely. That means the page is not giving the "complete list of nominees"; it is giving an incomplete list that leaves out many official nominees who also became winners.
In other words, AFI’s own nominee list includes the winners, while this Wikipedia section does not.

- AFI official PDF: List of the 500 nominated star legends
The official AFI nominee PDF labels this section '250 MALE LEGENDS - NOMINEES' and includes winners among the nominees, e.g. '11. FRED ASTAIRE', '28. HUMPHREY BOGART', '34. MARLON BRANDO', '42. JAMES CAGNEY', '50. CHARLES CHAPLIN', '57. GARY COOPER'.
- AFI’s 100 YEARS…100 STARS | American Film Institute
AFI’s page links to a 'List of the 500 nominated star legends' and separately lists the 25 male winners, including Humphrey Bogart, Cary Grant, James Stewart, Marlon Brando, Fred Astaire, Henry Fonda, Clark Gable, James Cagney, Spencer Tracy and Charles Chaplin.
The actresses that are part of the complete list of nominees are:
This is not the complete female nominee list. AFI’s official 250-female-nominee list also includes winning legends such as Lauren Bacall, Ingrid Bergman, Claudette Colbert, Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, Audrey Hepburn, Katharine Hepburn, Grace Kelly, Sophia Loren and Marilyn Monroe, which are omitted here.
Full reasoning
AFI’s official nominee PDF shows that the 250 female nominees included the eventual winners as well. In AFI’s list, winners appear inside the 250 female nominees, including Lauren Bacall (#8), Ingrid Bergman (#20), Claudette Colbert (#39), Joan Crawford (#42), Bette Davis (#50), Greta Garbo (#77), Judy Garland (#79), Audrey Hepburn (#106), Katharine Hepburn (#107), Grace Kelly (#118), Sophia Loren (#135), Marilyn Monroe (#157) and others.
However, the list shown under this sentence on the page omits those women from the nominee section, even though AFI’s official nominee list includes them. So the page is not showing the "complete list of nominees"; it is omitting many official nominees who also ranked among the 25 female winners.
This section appears to be a list of non-winning nominees, not the complete 250 female nominees it claims to present.
