Oscar Winners & Films
Certainly! Here's a table based on the data available up to 2021. It's important to note that the number of nominations might not reflect their winning count and the number of Best Picture-winning films an actor has appeared in is also not an indication of their individual Oscar wins. Let's dive in:
| Rank | Actor/Actress | Nominations | Best Picture Winning Films |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Meryl Streep | 21 | "The Deer Hunter", "Kramer vs. Kramer", "Out of Africa" |
| 2 | Katharine Hepburn | 12 | "On Golden Pond" |
| 3 | Jack Nicholson | 12 | "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", "Terms of Endearment" |
| 4 | Bette Davis | 10 | |
| 5 | Laurence Olivier | 10 | "Hamlet" |
| 6 | Paul Newman | 9 | |
| 7 | Denzel Washington | 8 | |
| 8 | Marlon Brando | 8 | "On the Waterfront", "The Godfather" |
| 9 | Jack Lemmon | 8 | |
| 10 | Spencer Tracy | 9 | |
| 11 | Al Pacino | 9 | "The Godfather", "The Godfather Part II" |
| 12 | Daniel Day-Lewis | 6 | "My Left Foot", "There Will Be Blood", "Lincoln" |
| 13 | Cate Blanchett | 7 | |
| 14 | Robert De Niro | 8 | "The Godfather Part II", "Raging Bull" |
| 15 | Judi Dench | 7 | "Shakespeare in Love" |
Note: Many actors have appeared in more films that have won Best Picture than listed here. The table lists at most three for each actor. This list also may be slightly outdated if newer nominations or wins occurred after 2021.
Certainly! Here's the table with the additional column for Oscar wins:
| Rank | Actor/Actress | Nominations | Oscar Wins | Best Picture Winning Films |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Meryl Streep | 21 | 3 | "The Deer Hunter", "Kramer vs. Kramer", "Out of Africa" |
| 2 | Katharine Hepburn | 12 | 4 | "On Golden Pond" |
| 3 | Jack Nicholson | 12 | 3 | "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", "Terms of Endearment" |
| 4 | Bette Davis | 10 | 2 | |
| 5 | Laurence Olivier | 10 | 1 | "Hamlet" |
| 6 | Paul Newman | 9 | 1 | |
| 7 | Denzel Washington | 8 | 2 | |
| 8 | Marlon Brando | 8 | 2 | "On the Waterfront", "The Godfather" |
| 9 | Jack Lemmon | 8 | 2 | |
| 10 | Spencer Tracy | 9 | 2 | |
| 11 | Al Pacino | 9 | 2 | "The Godfather", "The Godfather Part II" |
| 12 | Daniel Day-Lewis | 6 | 3 | "My Left Foot", "There Will Be Blood", "Lincoln" |
| 13 | Cate Blanchett | 7 | 2 | |
| 14 | Robert De Niro | 8 | 2 | "The Godfather Part II", "Raging Bull" |
| 15 | Judi Dench | 7 | 1 | "Shakespeare in Love" |
This table now includes both the number of nominations and wins, while still ranking the actors based on nominations.
You're right; I apologize for the oversight. Let's correct the rankings based on the number of nominations:
| Rank | Actor/Actress | Nominations | Oscar Wins | Best Picture Winning Films |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Meryl Streep | 21 | 3 | "The Deer Hunter", "Kramer vs. Kramer", "Out of Africa" |
| 2 | Katharine Hepburn | 12 | 4 | "On Golden Pond" |
| 3 | Jack Nicholson | 12 | 3 | "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", "Terms of Endearment" |
| 4 | Bette Davis | 10 | 2 | |
| 5 | Laurence Olivier | 10 | 1 | "Hamlet" |
| 6 | Paul Newman | 9 | 1 | |
| 7 | Spencer Tracy | 9 | 2 | |
| 8 | Al Pacino | 9 | 2 | "The Godfather", "The Godfather Part II" |
| 9 | Robert De Niro | 8 | 2 | "The Godfather Part II", "Raging Bull" |
| 10 | Marlon Brando | 8 | 2 | "On the Waterfront", "The Godfather" |
| 11 | Jack Lemmon | 8 | 2 | |
| 12 | Denzel Washington | 8 | 2 | |
| 13 | Daniel Day-Lewis | 6 | 3 | "My Left Foot", "There Will Be Blood", "Lincoln" |
| 14 | Cate Blanchett | 7 | 2 | |
| 15 | Judi Dench | 7 | 1 | "Shakespeare in Love" |
Thank you for pointing out the mistake. This corrected table ranks the actors and actresses by the number of nominations they've received.
