All 5 Stephen King Movies Nominated For Oscars (& How Many Won)

There have been many movies made from Stephen King’s books, but only five have received Academy Award nominations with an even smaller number of wins. King began his career as an author, but his name is just as recognizable to movie-goers as it is to book-readers. Through his successful books and their popular screen adaptations, King has been named the “King of Horror.” His career as an author began with a short story in 1967, but it wasn’t until 1974’s Carrie, his first novel to be published, that King’s career took off both in print and on-screen with a film adaptation that followed soon after.
