25 Movies With the Most Oscar Nominations

It’s awards season, and this list looks back at films that set records for Academy Award nominations. Titanıc, The Shape of Water, and The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring are among the movies included. Several other notable films—The King's Speech, The Revenant, and A Streetcar Named Desire—each received 12 nominations but are not listed here.

Gladiator (2000) earned 12 nominations and won five Oscars. The film became the first Best Picture winner released in the 21st century, scoring heavily in technical categories while still taking the top prize. It beat contenders like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Traffic, and, in a later echo, its sequel Gladiator II was nominated for Best Costume Design 24 years on.

Mrs. Miniver received 12 nominations and won six awards, resonating strongly during World War II and becoming the highest-grossing film of 1942.
