The individual who received the most Oscars was Walt Disney, who received a total of 20 in different categories during his lifetime, and four more after his death.
There are three films which have won 11 Oscars each - Ben Hur in 1952, Titanic in 1997 and the final Lord of the Rings film, the Return of the King (2003.) The record for the largest number of Oscars for Best Director is held by John Ford.
As for individual performers, even after her death Katherine Hepburn still holds the record with four wins, as well as a huge number of nominations. Only a few other actors have managed as many as three - these are Walter Brennan, Jack Lemmon and Ingrid Bergman.
The youngest ever winner was Shirley Temple at the age of 5, while the oldest were Geroge Burns and Jessica Tandy who were both 80 (though not in the same film.) However, both Myrna Loy and Groucho Marx were awarded honorary Oscars at the age of 83.
