The 96th Academy Awards, held on March 2, celebrates not just on-screen talent but also the significant contributions of behind-the-scenes professionals in film. While Walt Disney holds the record for the most Oscar wins at 22, individuals like Edith Head, who remarked on the 'magic and camouflage' of costume design, exemplify the artistry required behind the scenes. This year, viewers are invited to recognize the achievements of lesser-known Oscar winners who have shaped the movie industry through their dedication and creativity.
Edith Head, an eight-time Oscar winner - and the most awarded woman in Oscars history - famously said, "What a costume designer does is a cross between magic and camouflage. We create the illusion of changing the actors into what they are not."
Gordon Hollingshead - whose movie career spanned from 1916 to his death in 1952 - won his first competitive Oscar for best assistant director in 1933, a category that would only exist through 1937.
Walt Disney holds the record for the most wins, taking home 22 from 59 nominations.
From costume designers like Head, to composers, sound engineers, and set designers, these individuals helped create the magic needed for movies to thrive.
