Best picture Oscar winner with least number of total Oscar wins [closed] - An Actor Holding His Award

Among films that won an Oscar for Best Picture, which one has the fewest Oscars won in all the categories?

Is there a film that won only Best Picture and didn't win in any other categories?



Best Answer

Here is a list of all the Best Picture winners, listing for each of them the number of:

  • wins: the number of Academy Awards that it won (e.g. Titanic won 11), and
  • misses: the number of Academy Awards that it was nominated for but didn't win (e.g. Titanic was nominated for 14 awards and won 11, so it had 3 misses).

(To get the total number of nominations (including those won), just add the number of wins and misses.) These are presented in increasing order of awards won, breaking ties by increasing order of nominations (either “misses” or total; for a given number of wins the order is naturally the same).

This does not count the Technical Achievement Award for Gone With the Wind, or the Honorary Awards for Gone With the Wind, The Best Years of Our Lives, and Oliver!.

As you can see, there are three winners of Best Picture for which that was the only award they won, all the way up to the three well-known winners that won eleven awards in total.
