Thursday Thirteen #297

The most Oscared movies. I love the Academy Awards. Oscar night is my Super Bowl Sunday. I try to see as many of the major movies as I can before the show. 

This year the most-nominated movie is Everything Everywhere All At Once. I haven't seen it yet but I will. It's streaming on Amazon Prime and Showtime so I have ample opportunity to catch this 11-time nominee.  

While 11 nominations is prestigious, nominations aren't wins. It's got to grab at least 8 of those gold nude dudes to break into this Thursday Thirteen of Top Oscar Winners.

1. Ben Hur (1959). 11 wins of 12 nominations.

2. Titanic (1997). 11 wins of 14 nominations.

3. Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003). 11 wins of 11 nominations.

4. West Side Story (1961). 10 wins of 11 nominations. 

5. The English Patient (1996). 9 wins of 12 nominations.

6. Gigi (1958). 9 wins of 9 nominations.

7. The Last Emperor (1987). 9 wins of 9 nominations.

8. Amadeus (1984). 8 wins of 11 nominations.
