James Cameron’s Titanic won 11 Oscars at the 1998 Academy Awards.
The film won Best Picture and Best Director for Cameron, along with awards for its music, visual effects, cinematography, editing, art direction, costume design, sound, sound effects editing, and original song. Its 11 victories matched the record previously set by Ben-Hur in 1959.
Titanic received 14 nominations, tying the record for most nominations held by All About Eve. It became the first film to win 11 Oscars without receiving a nomination for its acting performances. Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet were not nominated, despite the film’s central romance.
The result is sometimes confused with Titanic’s 1997 release year or with its 14 nominations. The 11 figure refers specifically to awards won at the ceremony held in 1998.
