Hoffman won an Academy Award in 2005 for "Capote" and was most recently nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for "The Master" in 2012.





He was nominated several more Oscars over the years, in addition to Golden Globes and Tony Awards.

Hoffman had completed filming the next "Hunger Games" movie, Mockingjay Part 1, but the final installment has not yet completed production.
