While Katherine Hepburn is the most successful actor/actress in Academy Awards history, Walt Disney far outstrips anyone else at the Oscars. Disney was nominated 59 times, winning 22 of them, with 4 additional honorary ones. Most were for Best Short Subject (Cartoon). The next most-nominated individual is John Williams, considered one of the greatest film composers of all time.
