About: Films with the Most Academy Award Wins (All Time)

Overview of the data behind this chart
Films ranked by total Oscar wins at the Academy Awards ceremony throughout cinematic history, according to Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences records. Three films share the record of eleven Academy Award wins — Ben-Hur in 1960, Titanic in 1998, and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King in 2004. Peter Jackson's achievement with The Return of the King is particularly remarkable in that the film won in every single category in which it was nominated, achieving an unprecedented 11-from-11 sweep that reflected both the extraordinary technical ambition of the three-film Lord of the Rings project and the Academy's recognition of a cinematic undertaking that had redefined what large-scale fantasy filmmaking could accomplish.
