These Films Have the Most Oscar Wins

The 2018 Academy Awards are being televised on Sunday and fans will find out which of their favorite films from the past year will take home an Oscar or two.

Some films will very likely take home more than two, however, as many of the films are nominated in multiple categories.

For example, The Shape of Water is nominated in 13 different categories so it stands to reason that it will potentially take home at least a handful of those.

Additionally, the Christopher Nolan-directed Dunkirk is nominated for eight Oscars and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri is nominated for seven.

There is a good chance that either of those films could sweep every category they are nominated in.

There are a number of movies that have earned seven or more Academy Awards in the year they were nominated and we have a list if the top winners below.

Scroll down to see which films have won the most Oscars!
