None. Frank Capra's classic 1946 comedy-drama, which has become a Christmastime favorite, was nominated for five Academy Awards, but did not win anything. It received nominations for Best Picture, Best Director (Capra), Best Actor (James Stewart), Best Film Editing (William Hornbeck) and Best Sound Recording (John Aalberg).

When Frank Capra's holiday favorite was released on December 20, 1946, only actors James Stewart (George Bailey), Lionel Barrymore (Mr. Potter) and Thomas Mitchell (Uncle Billy) previously had won Academy Awards. Stewart received the 1940 Best Actor Oscar for his performance opposite Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn in "The Philadelphia Story." Barrymore's Oscar was a Best Actor statuette for his role as a defense attorney in "A Free Soul" (1931). And Mitchell's Best Supporting Actor award was for his performance in John Ford's "Stagecoach" (1939).

In the years after "It's a Wonderful Life" hit theaters, Oscars also went to actresses Donna Reed (Mary Bailey) and Gloria Grahame (Violet). Reed won the 1953 Best Supporting Actress award for "From Here to Eternity.' Grahame earned her Oscar in the same category for "The Bad and the Beautiful" the year before.
