The most Oscars won by an actor all time crown belongs to performers with three or four competitive acting trophies. Here is the official leaderboard every awards fan should know by heart.

Katharine Hepburn won four Best Actress Oscars from 1934 through 1982 — the only performer at the most Oscars won by an actor all time summit. No one else has reached four competitive acting statuettes.

Daniel Day-Lewis is the only man with three Best Actor Oscars for My Left Foot, There Will Be Blood, and Lincoln. He anchors the three-win tier on the most Oscars won by an actor all time chart.

Meryl Streep, Jack Nicholson, Ingrid Bergman, Walter Brennan, and Frances McDormand each hold three competitive acting Oscars. They share second place on the most Oscars won by an actor all time list behind Hepburn alone.

Walter Brennan won three Best Supporting Actor Oscars in the late 1930s — proof the most Oscars won by an actor all time ranking is not limited to leading roles alone. Supporting wins count equally.
