Which biblical themed movie has the most Academy Award nominations?
Technically, Ben-Hur isn't biblical (is it?)- the 1959 movie won 11 Oscars out of 12 nominations. There were a lot of period-costume-epics during the 50's. Quo Vadis (1951) was nominated for 8 Oscars. It was about ancient Rome, Emperor Nero. "Biblical times" perhaps. Therefore, the true biblical movie with the most Academy Award nominationsis The Ten Commandments(1955) which was nominated for 7 Oscars and won one for Visual Effects (parting of the Red Sea, etc.).
