Every Oscar-winning performance directed by Elia Kazan [PHOTOS]

Before he even had a dozen movies on his directing resume, Elia Kazan had seen nine different actors to Oscar victories. Nearly seven decades later, he remains one of only two filmmakers associated with that many or more winning performances (along with William Wyler) and one of four responsible for at least one victor in each of the four acting categories (along with Wyler, Hal Ashby, and Martin Scorsese). Check out our complete photo gallery of Oscar-winning turns in Kazan films, which also includes a rundown of the unsuccessful nominees directed by him.

Between 1945 and 1976, Kazan directed 19 narrative feature films, 13 of which earned a collective total of 59 Oscar nominations and 21 wins. Prior to his death in 2003, he was personally recognized seven times across three categories, winning Best Director for “Gentleman’s Agreement” (1948) and “On the Waterfront” (1955). He also received an honorary award in 1999 “in appreciation of a long, distinguished and unparalleled career.”
