- 69 of these movies were also the most nominated of their year, a total of less than two-thirds, at 61.1%
- 4 of these movies performed clean sweeps, meaning they won every award they were nominated for: It Happened One Night, Gigi, The Last Emperor, and The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King
- Out of 97 ceremonies so far, 15 have had ties for most awarded
- The 54th Academy Awards is a unique case where there is a tie between Chariots of Fire and Raiders of the Lost Ark. However, this list does not include honorary awards. If it did, then Raiders of the Lost Ark alone would be the most awarded, with 5, since it won a special achievement award for Sound Effects Editing.
