The films with the most Oscar nominations
It is said that it’s an honor just to be nominated for an Oscar. Well these films were all quite well honored. Over the years, 52 movies have received at least 10 nominations for Academy Awards. They’ve all taken home multiple Oscars at the end of the night as well. Here are the movies that made it to double-digit nominations.
“Titanic” (1997): 14 nominations
This movie kind of made the Oscars for a new generation of movie fans. People adored it. It was the highest-grossing film for years. “My Heart Will Go On” was the biggest song in the world. Obviously, it won an Oscar. That was one of the 11 Oscars that “Titanic” won, which includes Best Picture. Interestingly, none of the wins was for acting.
“La La Land” (2016): 14 nominations
The most recent film to receive a record-tying 14 noms of was “La La Land.” The 2016 film only took home six awards out of those nominations, but or a second there, it seemed like there was going to be a seventh. You remember what happened with the Best Picture award this year, right? “Moonlight,” not “La La Land,” actually got the win there, making this musical the film with the most nominations and no Best Picture win.
“Forrest Gump” (1994): 13 nominations
Speaking of Best Picture winners that maybe didn’t stand the test of time — although, any film involving Tom Hanks has something going for it. Hanks memorably won Best Actor for “Forrest Gump,” making it back-to-back years winning this award for arguably the most beloved man in America.
“The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring” (2001): 13 nominations
The first of the three “Lord of the Rings” movies got the most nominations. It did not get many wins though. “The Fellowship of the Ring” won a mere four Oscars, and that doesn’t include Best Picture or Best Director, not to mention no acting awards.
