Sure, it’s an honor to be nominated, but let’s be honest: it’s even better to win. So taking a victory lap two or three times has got to be the most amazing feeling on the planet. Since 1927, only 22 men have won more than one Oscar for acting, so it’s a tough club to join. Tour our photo gallery above to see which thespians delighted Academy voters multiple times.

Three performers hold the record for victories amongst men with three prizes each: Walter Brennan, Daniel Day-Lewis and Jack Nicholson. (Katherine Hepburn is the all-time champ amongst men and woman with four.) Brennan won all three of his trophies in supporting (“Come and Get It” in 1936, “Kentucky” in 1938 and “The Westerner” in 1940), while Day-Lewis took home all of his awards in lead (“My Left Foot” in 1989, “There Will Be Blood” in 2007 and “Lincoln” in 2012). Nicholson won two Oscars in lead (“One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” in 1975 and “As Good as It Gets” in 1997) and one in supporting (“Terms of Endearment” in 1983).

Amongst other notable records, three actors have won their awards back-to-back: Tom Hanks, Jason Robards and Spencer Tracy. Both Hanks and Tracy won their prizes in lead (Hanks for “Philadelphia” in 1993 and “Forrest Gump” in 1994; Tracy for “Captains Courageous” in 1937 and “Boys Town” in 1938), while Robards took home his trophies in supporting (“All the President’s Men” in 1976 and “Julia” in 1977).
