Walt Disney and the Academy Awards® have a long and storied past… Incredibly, he won or received 32 Oscars®—from a whopping 67 nominations—during his career, and still holds the record for most Oscars in history. So with that kind of extraordinary legacy, it’s no wonder today’s actors and actresses (both here in Hollywood and even around the world) can often trace a path from their own careers back to films Walt himself produced. In preparation for the 92nd Oscars®, D23 took a look at all of the 2020 nominees for Actor and Actress in a Leading Role and calculated their “Six Degrees of Walt Disney”—read on for more, and make sure to catch these nominees during the glittering telecast on Sunday, February 9, at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT… only on ABC!
