Best picture is determined through a preferential-ballot vote — meaning that voters rank the nominees from No. 1 to No. 10 — while for the rest of the categories voters simply choose their preferred nominee.The winners will be revealed at the 95th Academy Awards on Sunday, March 12. The awards show will air on ABC, with Jimmy Kimmel returning to host the show for the third time.While there were no nomination records broken — “Titanic”, “All About Eve” and “La La Land” are all tied for the No. 1 spot with 14 nominations apiece — it’s possible that history will be tied at the 95th Oscars.If “Everything Everywhere All at Once” has a clean sweep, it will match “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King”, “Titanic” and “Ben-Hur” as the most Oscar-winning movie of all time.Even if it fails to win all 11 categories, there’s a chance that the film could end up as the second or third winningest movie ever.These are the 15 most Oscar-winning movies ever made.’Titanic’ — 11 OscarsYear: 1997Total nominations: 14Categories won: Best picture, best director, best art direction, best cinematography, best costume design, best film editing, best original dramatic score, best original song, best sound, best sound effects editing, best visual effects’Ben-Hur’ — 11 OscarsYear: 1959Total nominations: 12Categories won: Best picture, best director, best actor, best supporting actor, best art direction, best cinematography, best costume design, best film editing, best sound recording, best music, best special effects’The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King’ — 11 OscarsYear: 2003Total nominations: 11Categories won: Best picture, best director, best adapted screenplay, best art direction, best costume design, best film editing, best makeup, best original score, best original song, best sound mixing, best visual effects’West Side Story’ — 10 OscarsYear: 1961Total nominations: 11Categories won: Best picture, best director, best supporting actor, best supporting actress, best art direction, best cinematography, best costume design, best film editing, best original score, best sound’The English Patient’ — 9 OscarsYear: 1996Total nominations: 12Categories won: Best picture, best director, best supporting actress, best art direction, best cinematography, best costume design, best film editing, best original score, best sound’The Last Emperor’ — 9 OscarsYear: 1987Total nominations: 9Categories won: Best picture, best director, best adapted screenplay, best art direction, best cinematography, best costume design, best film editing, best original score, best sound’Gigi’ — 9 OscarsYear: 1958Total nominations: 9Categories won: Best picture, best director, best adapted screenplay, best art direction, best cinematography, best costume design, best film editing, best original score, best song’Amadeus’ — 8 OscarsYear: 1984Total nominations: 11Categories won: Best picture, best director, best actor, best adapted screenplay, best art direction, best costume design, best makeup, best sound’Gandhi’ — 8 OscarsYear: 1982Total nominations: 11Categories won: Best picture, best director, best actor, best original screenplay, best art direction, best cinematography, best costume design, best film editing’Slumdog Millionaire’ — 8 OscarsYear: 2008Total nominations: 10Categories won: Best picture, best director, best adapted screenplay, best cinematography, best film editing, best original score, best original song, best sound mixing’Cabaret’ — 8 OscarsYear: 1972Total nominations: 10Categories won: Best director, best actress, best supporting actor, best art direction, best cinematography, best film editing, best original score, best sound’Gone With The Wind’ — 8 OscarsYear: 1939Total nominations: 13Categories won: Best picture, best director, best actress, best supporting actress, best screenplay, best art direction, best cinematography, best film editing’From Here to Eternity’ — 8 OscarsYear: 1953Total nominations: 13Categories won: Best picture, best director, best supporting actor, best supporting actress, best screenplay, best cinematography, best film editing, best sound recording’On the Waterfront’ — 8 OscarsYear: 1954Total nominations: 12Categories won: Best picture, best director, best actor, best supporting actress, best story and screenplay, best art direction, best cinematography, best film editing’My Fair Lady’ — 8 Oscars
