Question
I checked your previously asked questions and did not see this one in there. Did John Wayne ever win an Oscar, and if so, what movie(s)?
Thanks
Hello David,
John Wayne received three Adademy Award Nominations; first in 1949 for Best Actor in a Leading Role in "Sands Of Iwo Jima"; then in 1961 for Best Picture for "The Alamo" which he directed; and finally in 1970 for Best Actor in a Leading Role in "True Grit".
His only win was for "True Grit". The Oscar was presented to him at the ceremony by Barbra Streisand.
Glad to be of help. Cheers......Mel.

Movies have always been my great love and John Wayne films in particular gave me more pleasure than most. I have studied his body of work for years and would be more than happy to answer any questions relating anything he appeared in, directed or produced.
