Top Oscar Record Holders

2. Most Awards for Acting

Winner: Katharine Hepburn

Collected Statues: 4

After 60 years in the business, Katharine Hepburn certainly has the awards to prove that her talent has yet to be outshined by another actress, including even Meryl Streep (against whom she won an Oscar for her 1982 role in On Golden Pond). However, while the actress won her first award for Best Actress in 1934 by playing the lead role in Morning Glory, her next conquest came 34 years later at the hand of the 1968 film, Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner. By winning yet another statue the following year she consolidated her status as a most-wanted actress.
