Posted on By Syifa

“Oppenheimer” leads the 2024 Oscar nominations with 13 nodes, but no film has ever won that many Academy Awards before. Several movies have come close, however.

More than 3,000 Oscars have been awarded since 1929, according to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which hands out the awards.

These are the films with the most Oscar nominations and wins in history:

“While it’s true the rings will become almost invisible from Earth in 2025, this is neither a surprise nor a reason to panic,” Jonti Horner, an astrophysicist at the University of Southern Queensland in Australia, wrote in the Conversation.
