Who Has Been Nominated For The Most Oscars
The Academy Awards, or the Oscars, are awards given for superior film work and they seek to reward exceptional technical, production and performance aspects. They are determined annually by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS). The film making community sees these awards as the highest honor that can be achieved and they are sought after by many in the moving making industry.
