As of March 2026, three films tied for most Academy Award wins of all time. "Titanic" (1997), "Ben-Hur" (1959), and "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" (2003) each received ** Oscars. The musical with the most Oscar wins was "West Side Story" (1961), with ** trophies. Out of the winners displayed, "Cabaret" (1972) is the only title that lost in the Best Picture category – "The Godfather" won that trophy in 1973.

The studios will go on – or will they?

*** of the distributors behind the top three Oscar-winning movies in history were among the Academy Award-winning studios in 2026: Warner Bros. (responsible for the label New Line Cinema) and Disney (the current owner of 20th Century Studios). Wins for the most influential prize in Hollywood reflected the continued rise of streaming platforms such as Netflix. In 2022, Netflix's Oscar nominations decreased for the first time. Still, its ** nominations that year were the company's second-highest number ever.

The best of two worlds

The recipe for a so-called Oscar bait – that is, a movie seemingly produced for the sake of snatching the coveted trophy – may include the Academy's sweethearts. But that does not necessarily translate into a two-digit number of wins. None of the only ***actors with at least three Oscar wins participated in the only four films with at least ten Oscar wins. These two elite groups tend to follow different tropes. The most rewarded actors usually received trophies for their work in character-based movies. Meanwhile, the most rewarded films typically received prizes for their epic, larger-than-life narratives and sets.
