In Disney's Mary Poppins, the film received 13 Academy Award nominations.
Released in 1964, Mary Poppins combined live action, animation, songs, and elaborate production design in a story about a magical nanny who helps the Banks family. Its 13 nominations covered major areas including Best Picture, directing, acting, screenplay, music, editing, cinematography, and visual effects.
The film won five Oscars, including Best Actress for Julie Andrews, Best Original Song for “Chim Chim Cher-ee,” and awards for film editing, musical score, and visual effects. The total of 13 nominations is therefore different from the number of awards it won.
Mary Poppins remains one of Walt Disney's most acclaimed live-action musicals. It was directed by Robert Stevenson, with songs by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman. The film's combination of practical effects and animation was especially ambitious for its period.
