[#PoorLeo](http://time.com/4239786/oscars-2016-leonardo-dicaprio-acceptance-speech-best-actor/) famously trended on Twitter in 2014 after Matthew McConaughey beat the _Wolf of Wall Street_ star to the podium, winning the Academy Award for Best Actor for his role in _Dallas Buyers Club_. At that point, DiCaprio had been nominated for five Academy Awards and lost every single one. His losing streak finally came to an end in 2016, with his performance in the epic wintry western _The Revenant_. Streep is famously the most nominated actor in Academy Awards history, breaking her own record this year when she received her 21st [Oscar nomination](http://time.com/5112407/oscar-nominations-2018/) for her role as Katharine Graham in _The Post_. Streep has won three acting Oscars during her forty-year career in the business — which means she’s lost 17 (and we’ll find out about the remaining one Sunday night). But neither DiCaprio nor Streep have lost anywhere near as many Academy Awards as composer John Williams. Williams, the brains behind some of the most popular and recognizable scores in movie history — including _E.T._, _Jaws_, and the _Indiana Jones_ and _Star Wars_ series — has been nominated for a phenomenal 51 Oscars. But he also holds the record for most Oscars lost, with 46.  Honoree John Williams accepts the Life Achievement Award onstage during American Film Institute's 44th Life Achievement Award Gala Tribute show on June 9, 2016 in Hollywood, California. Alberto E. Rodriguez—Getty Images for Turner On the flip side, the veteran movie composer also holds the record for most Oscar nominations for a single living person. Only Walt Disney, who died in 1966, earned more Academy Award nominations than Williams. (The iconic film producer received 59 nominations to Williams’ 51.) Williams received his 51st Oscar nomination this year in the Best Original Score category for _Star Wars: The Last Jedi_. If the sound of _Star Wars_ beats _Dunkirk_ (Hans Zimmer), _Phantom Thread_ (Jonny Greenwood), _The Shape of Water_ (Alexandre Desplat) and _Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri_ (Carter Burwell), Williams will have a sixth Oscar to add to his mantlepiece.
