From what I can see on imdb he was nominated for 8 + 1 honorary oscar which he at first declined but later accepted. It's a bit confusing - anyone found anything more specific?0
-
I think then that the answer is 7 as he wasn't nominated for the honourary award, it was bestowed upon him, so 8 nominations - 1 nearly declined = 7. Do you reckon?0

O'Toole has been nominated eight times for the Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role, making him the most-nominated actor never to win the award. His nominations were for:
- 1962 - Lawrence of Arabia
- 1964 - Becket
- 1968 - The Lion in Winter
- 1969 - Goodbye, Mr. Chips
- 1972 - The Ruling Class
- 1980 - The Stunt Man
- 1982 - My Favorite Year
- 2006 - Venus
By that i think 8 - 1 = 7??#JusticeForGrenfell0 -
I agree, all google references refer to him declining an honorary oscar, nothing else.0
