== Legacy and honors ==
Muni had four official [[Academy Award]] nominations for Best Actor, winning for ''The Story of Louis Pasteur'' (1936) and receiving official nominations for ''I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang'' (1932), ''The Life of Emile Zola'' (1937) and ''[[The Last Angry Man]]'' (1959). His nomination for the film ''The Valiant'' (1929) is unofficial because at the [[2nd Academy Awards]], acting nominees were not announced, only the winners' names.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://awardsdatabase.oscars.org/ampas_awards/DisplayMain.jsp? |work=Academy Awards Database |title=1928/29 2nd Academy Awards |date=24 September 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131029194626/http://awardsdatabase.oscars.org/ampas_awards/DisplayMain.jsp |archive-date=October 29, 2013 |df=mdy-all }}</ref> Muni's performance in ''Black Fury'' was not nominated for an Oscar.
