The Oscars are arguably the most prestigious awards show that an actor can be recognized at.

Even getting nominated in the acting categories – Best Actor and Actress and Best Supporting Actor and Actress – is an impressive feat.

Winning a single Oscar is something that can take years. Take Leonardo DiCaprio for example; he won his first in 2016 after appearing in multiple critically acclaimed movies.
