Who has the most Oscars collecting dust on the shelves? These stars have Oscar records

Oscar night is approaching for the 96th time. Many actors and actresses have been able to take home the golden statue over the years, and some of them have made history. Like Lily Gladstone, who could become the first Indigenous person to win the Best Actress Oscar this year.

But who has the most Oscars gathering dust on the shelf? You can find it here:

… is the creator of Mickey Mouse: Walt Disney. This won no fewer than 22 Oscars. He won most of his Oscars between 1932 and 1969 in the “Best Animated Short Film” category for films such as “The Three Little Pigs” and “The Ugly Duckling”. After his death, he won an Oscar for “Winnie the Pooh and the Dog Weather” (1969).

The most Oscars he won in one night came in 1954, when he took home four statues for three different films.

Far behind Disney, art director Cedric Gibbons is in second place with the most Oscar awards. Gibbons received prizes for his design eleven times, for example for ‘An American in Paris’ (1952) and ‘Gaslight’ (1945).

Disney also tops the list of most Oscar nominees.

Before we reveal the song, let’s guess:

The answer: Walt Disney was nominated for an Oscar a total of 59 times during his career.

Dennis Muren holds the record for the most awards for a living person with nine Oscars. Muren is a visual effects artist who has worked on films such as “Jurassic Park,” “Terminator 2,” “Return of the Jedi,” and “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.”

The most important category at the Oscars is the Best Actress award. Here one actress surpasses all: Katharine Hepburn. She won four Oscars for Best Actress for the following films:

There are several actors who have won three Oscars so far in the categories of ‘Best Actress’ and ‘Best Supporting Actor’. This year, none of the living stars on this list can break Hepburn’s record; none of them have been nominated.

In this category, Hepburn (12 nominations) is only surpassed by Meryl Streep. The 74-year-old has been nominated for an Oscar 21 times so far. Of these, 17 nominations were in the best actress category. So far, however, she has only been able to take home the golden boy three times: in 1979 for “Kramer vs. Kramer”, 1983 for “Sophie’s Choice” and most recently in 2012 for “The Iron Lady”.

Jack Nicholson leads the men’s rankings. Like Hepburn, he was nominated twelve times.

Three films shared first place in this category with eleven awards:

‘Titanic’ is also one of the record holders when it comes to the most nominations for a film. In addition to ‘Titanic’, there are two other films that also received fourteen nominations: ‘All About Eve’ (1951) and ‘La La Land’ (2017).

Bong Joon Ho won four Oscars in 2020 for ‘Parasite’ and shared the stage with Walt Disney. The South Korean director won best director, best international film, best original screenplay and best film.

To date, no director has won more Academy Awards than Stephen Spielberg’s great role model John Ford, namely four. He was infamous for his western films. He won the Oscar for Best Director for ‘The Informer’ (1936), ‘The Grapes of Wrath’ (1941), ‘How Green Was My Valley’ (1942) and ‘The Quiet Man’ (1953).

Edith Head is the woman with the most Oscar awards. The costume designer won eight Oscars for her work in films such as ‘All About Eve’ and ‘Sabrina’. She was also the designer of Hitchcock classics such as ‘The Birds’ and ‘Vertigo’.
