Is there any correlation between the number of nominations and the number of Oscars among the Best Picture nominees Not really. “Gladiator” was nominated for 12 but won 5; “Last Emperor” won 9 Oscars out of 9 nominations; “Silence of the Lambs” received only 7 nods but won 5, all in major categories. With few exceptions, most Best Pictures tend to win around 5-7 Oscars.
