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.
