Liam Neeson has never won an Oscar. As noted above, he was nominated for “Schindler’s List” but did not win.
Since it’s Oscar season, I’m bumping this thread to correct this tally, since I excluded Honorary Oscar winners Buster Keaton and Noel Coward, both of whom appear in AtWi80D, putting that film’s tally at 10.
Also, in the name of being completist, AB2F should add Richard Attenborough to that list (he directed the film and has a cameo in it).
In addition to adding Joseph Schildkraut to this list (see post #6), Angela Lansbury has since won an Honorary Oscar, putting that film’s total to 9.
Four other narrators of that film–Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, Mickey Rooney & Debbie Reynolds–all won Honorary Oscars, putting that film’s total also at 9 (excluding archival footage).
One other film that wasn’t mentioned earlier that has a sizable, and eclectic, winner tally is the original Muppet Movie, which has appearances by
Edgar Bergen (Honorary)
Mel Brooks (Screenplay)
James Coburn
Bob Hope (Honorary)
Cloris Leachman
Steve Martin (Honorary)
Orson Welles (Screenplay)
Paul Williams (Song)
For a total of 8.
Sutherland has just been announced as one of this year’s honorary Oscar winners so the following tallies can be updated.
JFK - 7 winners (w/Costner, TL Jones, Lemmon, Matthau, Pesci, Spacek)
Cold Mountain - 5 winners (w/PS Hoffman, Kidman, Portman, Zellweger)
The Hunger Games - Mocking Jay, part 1 - 5 winners (w/Ali, PS Hoffman, Lawrence, Moore)
Outbreak - (w/Freeman, Gooding Jr., D Hoffman, Spacey)
A Time to Kill - 5 winners (w/Bullock, Cooper, McConaughey, Spacey)
He’s also the only member of The Dirty Dozen to win an Oscar (Marvin, Borgnine & Kennedy were in the film but not among the 12).
Looks like last year’s nominee slate included Lucas Hedges, who had a small role in TGBH, so the total nominee count in its cast is up to 16, although the winner tally remains at 4. And since the names weren’t previously included, here they are:
Winners (acting): F. Murray Abraham, Adrien Brody, Tilda Swinton
Winners (other): Fisher Stevens
Nominees (acting): Ralph Fiennes, Willem Dafoe, Lucas Hedges, Harvey Keitel, Jude Law, Bill Murray, Edward Norton, Saoirse Ronan, Tom Wilkinson
Nominees (other): Bob Balaban, Jeff Goldblum, Owen Wilson
Given that both Ronan and Dafoe are doing very well with this year’s Oscar precursor awards (for Lady Bird and The Florida Project, respectively), they’re very likely to be repeat nominees and both hold very good odds of winning, which will raise Budapest’s total.
Here’s one overlooked: California Suite with six: Jane Fonda, Alan Alda, Maggie Smith, Michael Caine, Walter Matthau, and James Coburn*
*Coburn was uncredited, but appeared as Maggie Smith’s co-star in the film she was (fictionally) nominated for.
When I saw this thread bumped, I assumed it would be to mention the new Murder on the Orient Express, with its veritable Venn diagram of famous and talented actors. Surely five or six of them must be Oscar winners?
Great cast (and pretty good movie), but only Judi Dench has actually won an Oscar.,
Cruz has, as well. But that’s still 5 fewer people than the cast of the 70s version.
