- ^ This column includes competitive awards (i.e., Academy Awards of Merit) only. It does not include the following: Honorary Awards; Special Awards; Special Achievement Awards; and Scientific or Technical Awards.
- ^ At the 1st Academy Awards (1927–1928), an anomaly in the nomination process allowed for an artist to be nominated for work in a single film, for work across multiple films, or for work without reference to any specific film. As a result of this, the individual values listed in the "Awards" column of this table will not produce the same total listed at the bottom of that column.
- ^ The Circus originally received four nominations: one for Outstanding Picture (Charles Chaplin, producer) and three additional nominations – Best Director (Comedy Picture), Best Actor, and Best Writing (Original Story) – for Charles Chaplin. However, the Academy subsequently decided to remove Chaplin's name from the competitive award categories and instead to confer upon him a Special Award "for acting, writing, directing and producing The Circus".
- ^ The Jazz Singer received 1 nomination for a competitive Academy Award of Merit. In addition, the film received a Special Award.
