I'm only counting ones where the actors are actually playing characters. Otherwise The Player, with 12, would stomp them all.

There are probably more I'm not thinking of, so let's hear some suggestions!

Nine (Rob Marshall, 2009) has at least six winners: Sophia Loren, Daniel Day-Lewis (a two-time winner!), Marion Cotillard, Nicole Kidman, Penélope Cruz, and Judi Dench.

Fun question...I bet there are more out there!

Oh right! I thought I had put Nine up here, but I must've forgotten about it. Thanks!

Around the World in Eighty Days has at least six, I think.

I was hesitating including that one since most of those people are just in cameos, but you're right, it does deserve to be recognized. That's a lot of Oscar winners. Thanks!
