None. Many of King's books have been made into films, but Stephen King is barely involved with most films, apart from the occasional cameo, so he's not in a position to earn an Oscar. Not surprisingly, he has numerous writing awards: nine Bram Stoker awards, a Hugo, an O. Henry award, and in 2003, the Medal of Distinguished Contribution to American Letters, among others.

Several of the film adaptations have earned Academy Award nominations (including four for The Green Mile and seven for The Shawshank Redemption), but as of January 2010, only one Oscar has been awarded to a film based on King's books: 1990, Cathy Bates, Best Actress in a Leading Role, Misery.
