I too once met a girl in Central Park, but it is not much to remember. What I remember is the time John Wayne killed three men with a carbine as he was falling to the dusty street in Stagecoach, and the time the kitten found Orson Welles in the doorway in The Third Man.

Mr. Hoover was an engineer. He knew that water trickles down... But he didnt know that money trickled up. Give it to the people at the bottom and the people at the top will have it before night, anyhow. But it will at least have passed through the poor fellows hands.

Generally movies racking up large numbers of Oscars seems to be a more recent phenomenon.  For one thing, award categories proliferated.  Most of the high numbers (approaching or at double digits) are mid-50s or later, with GWTW the exception, and most of those cluster post-80s AFAICT.  So Bernard Hill's cohort is mainly contemporary actors of high ubiquity.  Wonder if there are other non-household word actors like Hill lurking up in the thirties.

Yeah, you need to be in at least three juggernauts to be in contention, and a bunch of one offs. I was thinking maybe Malden who had four movies with three or more Oscars (On the Waterfront 8, Patton 7, Streetcar! 4, How the West Was One 3) but no singles so he topped at 22. Brando had a couple solid performers, but Waterfront was his only huge one, leaving him at 23. O'Toole had 19 for his three BP winners (Last.Emperor 9, Larry of the Sands 7, Lion in Winter 3) but only two one offs, so 21.

Of course, we are talking about credited roles, or someone like Franklyn Farnum (non-exhaustive count: 52) or Bess Flowers (not even going to try) clearly wins. But the imdb entry "Sarah Siddon Award Guest (uncredited)" should not count. Though admittedly that knocks Ward Bond down.
