I have a triva questions, what movie had the most academy awards winners in it.
(Past, Present and Future in the movie) I have researched this and I have come up with this movie "Greatest story ever told" (7 winners) "A bridge to Far" and "How the West Was Won" If you won it for director, or any other field it counts as long as you appeared in the movie.
I was looking at "A Bridge too Far" and in the trivia section it says that it had 13 Oscar winners connected with the film and 6 of them were actors. I'm assuming you weren't counting technical people involved with the film when you initially made your tally. "Titanic" won 13 alone and that was without Leo getting one; so assuming he wins one before retirement, I would think Titanic would be the answer to your question with 14 - until then, I can't think of anything off the top of my head. It's a good question though.
Not only is it possible, it is essential

I know The Ten Commandments won a whole bunch of oscars I'm not sure how many though.
shareThe 1959 version of BEN HUR won 11 Oscars, which was the record held for many years until TITANIC won 11, too, in 1997. Since then, RETURN OF THE KING also won 11. TITANIC really started the trend of one big movie each year sweeping the Oscars.

TITANIC really started the trend of one big movie each year sweeping the Oscars.
To me an interesting trivia question would be, what movie had the most academy award winning actors and actresses in it? So that way a cruddy film could be in the running. For example, "The Swarm" had Michael Caine, Olivia deHavilland, Ben Johnson, Lee Grant, Jose Ferrer, Patty Duke, and Henry Fonda.
shareI believe that WAS the question, dear Horatius.
share"The Greatest Story Every Told" was nominated for five Oscars, but won none. Where did you get your info of seven wins? Just curious.

See the aboove posts by nahuil and dustinthewind. They clarify what the original poster asked for.
shareAh, now I see. I thought they meant for that particular movie. My bad.

As far as I can tell, Robert Altman's 1992 movie has the most Oscar winners in it. There are 12 (many of them in cameo roles) -- Tim Robbins, Whoopi Goldberg, Cher, James Coburn, Louise Fletcher, Joel Grey, Anjelica Huston, Jack Lemmon, Marlee Matlin, Susan Sarandon, Rod Steiger and Julia Roberts.
It's 13 if you include Sydney Pollack, who won his Oscar for directing "Out of Africa."

"The Poseidon Adventure" had only five Academy Award winning actors: Gene Hackman, Ernest Borgnine, Red Buttons, Shelley Winters and Jack Albertson.
Even "The Swarm" had more: Michael Caine, Olivia de Havilland, Ben Johnson, Lee Grant, Jose Ferrer, Patty Duke and Henry Fonda.
As far as I can tell, "The Player" has the most Oscar winning actors with 12.
