This is a list of Academy Award winners related to other winners. Honorary awards are included. In many instances, family members shared awards. These awards are counted only once for each family.
This list includes winners who are direct relatives of other winners, including in-laws, aunts/uncles and first cousins.
The Shearers have the most wins, with 16. The Newmans have been nominated the most often, all 95 being for Film Scoring, Arrangement, or Original Song.
The Coppolas have the most nominated (9) and winning (7) members.
The Hustons were the first three generation family of winners. The others are the Coppolas and, technically, the Farrow/Previn/Allens.
There are only two instances of a parent and child receiving acting nominations in the same film:[1]
Was married to John Farrow's daughter, Mia Farrow. Shared 3 song nominations[14] with his first wife, Dory Previn. First cousin once-removed of winning composer Charles Previn (1/7/0).
All awards and nominations shared with Joel Coen (except Best Picture for Fargo); includes two nominations with Joel Coen under their shared editing pseudonym "Roderick Jaynes".

The Sherman Brothers and Billie Eilish & Finneas O'Connell are the only pairs of siblings to share all their awards and nominations. The Coen brothers have shared all of their awards and 12 of their nominations (including two nominations under the pseudonym Roderick Jaynes); each received an individual nomination for Fargo.
Sisters Olivia de Havilland and Joan Fontaine were both nominated for Best Actress in 1942, with Fontaine winning for Suspicion. They are the only siblings to have both won lead acting awards, and the only pair of sisters to have awards.
One winning family has two generations of nominated siblings: Sofia Coppola has won for writing and been nominated for best picture and best director, and her brother Roman Coppola has been nominated for writing. Their father Francis Ford Coppola, who has multiple wins, and his sister (their aunt) Talia Shire have also both been nominated.
Couples
These are the spouses who have won Academy Awards, though not necessarily while they were married.
Only one couple has ever competed head-to-head for the same award. In 2010, Kathryn Bigelow won for directing/producing The Hurt Locker, beating ex-spouse James Cameron, nominated for his film Avatar.
Judy Garland / Vincente Minnelli and Liza Minnelli / Peter Allen constitute the only instance in which a member of a winning couple (Liza Minnelli) has a parent (in this case, both parents) who is also a member of a winning couple.
^The Academy Award for Best International Feature Film is not given to a specific individual but is considered to be an award for the submitting country as a whole. However, in 1956 the names of the producers were included in the nomination, making Carlo Ponti an Academy Award winner.[191]
