Romeo and Juliet won the Oscar for Cinematography in 1968.
Since Romeo and Juliet are just characters in a story, they only won whatever awards the story says they won. And according to the story they each won the golden statue award. Posthumously.

He died when Romeo visited the Capulets' catacomb to see Juliet before he killed himself. Paris was going in to give Juliet flowers and Romeo was saying things like "I want to lay with Juliet." Romeo meant that he wanted to die beside her, but Paris took it in the wrong way and told him to leave. They fought, Romeo won, Paris died.

No screenplay of any of the numerous films of Romeo and Juliet (1936, 1955, 1968, 1996, 2013, 2014) was even nominated for an Oscar. The 1955 film was nominated for a BAFTA award for its screenplay. And the 1968 film won two Oscars for costume and cinematography, but not for screenplay.
Kane did won
