Laurence Olivier — who died in 1970, per Britannica — was one of the most esteemed actors of his generation, both on stage and on screen. It makes sense, then, that Olivier was tapped for a long list of prestigious awards in his time, including BAFTAs and Emmys, but also a number of Academy Award nominations (via IMDb). Although he received two honorary Oscars, he also won two competitive Oscars, both for his 1948 film adaptation of Shakespeare’s play “Hamlet.”
