Question: Who Has Received the Most Acting Nominations?

Answer: Meryl Streep recently broke a tie with Katharine Hepburn and now has the honor of being the most nominated actor with 14 nominations. Streep won Academy Awards for Best Actress in a Supporting Role in "Kramer vs Kramer" and Best Actress in a Leading Role in "Sophie's Choice." She was also nominated for her work in "The Deer Hunter," "The French Lieutenant's Woman," "Silkwood," "Out of Africa," "Ironweed," "A Cry in the Dark," "Postcards from the Edge," "The Bridges of Madison County," "One True Thing," "Music of the Heart," "Adaptation," and "The Devil Wears Prada".
