From Spencer Tracy to Ralph Fiennes, these actors have starred in at least 12 Oscar-winning movies, more than any other performer in history
"While the vast majority of actors who have starred in Oscar-winning movies have done so in only 12 or fewer winners, Ralph Fiennes is the only actor who has appeared in an admirable 13 Oscar winners. It's hardly surprising: he's the kind of actor that studios know they can recur to when they need a true actorial chameleon. Need someone who can be elegant and romantic? Someone who can be hilarious, whether the role demands subtle humor or over-the-topness? Someone who can appear villainous and imposing? No matter the situation, Fiennes is a great fit. He has never won an Oscar, but he has been nominated thrice.
This year, were Conclave to snag at least one Academy Award (which it's very likely to do), Fiennes' number would go up to 14 Oscar winners that he's starred in. At 62 years old, that's highly commendable. From comedies like The Grand Budapest Hotel (a performance for which it's a travesty that Fiennes wasn't Oscar-nominated) to animated movies like The Prince of Egypt to Best Picture winners like Schindler's List, there's no category of prestigious project that this actor hasn't starred in—and his career is far from over."
