- Frances McDormand won her second Oscar last year, joining a club of actors who have won more than once.
- Mahershala Ali, Rachel Weisz, and more could also add to their total wins this year.
- Here are 41 actors who have won more than one Oscar.
Oscar wins are hard to come by, and those actors who have won multiple Academy Awards are an exclusive club.
Frances McDormand entered the club last year when she took home her second Oscar for her performance as a grieving mother in “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.”
But McDormand still trails a list of actors and actresses with illustrious careers, including Meryl Streep, Jack Nicholson, and Katharine Hepburn.
Mahershala Ali, Emma Stone, Rachel Weisz, Christian Bale, and Sam Rockwell are the nominated actors this year who have won once before. Could they add another on Sunday?
