Editing Hamlet (1948 film) (section)

==Awards and honours==
The film version of ''Hamlet'' was the only film in which the leading actor had directed himself to an Oscar-winning performance, until [[71st Academy Awards|1998]], when [[Roberto Benigni]] directed himself to an Oscar win in ''[[Life Is Beautiful]]''. Olivier is also the only actor to win an Oscar for a Shakespearean role. ''Hamlet'' was the only film to have won both the [[Golden Lion]] and the [[Academy Award for Best Picture]] until ''[[The Shape of Water]]'' in [[90th Academy Awards|2017]], which was followed by ''[[Nomadland (film)|Nomadland]]'' three years later. It is also the first non-American film to win the Best Picture Academy Award.
