O ator figura a lista dos atores que mais vezes foram indicados ao Oscar. Foram oito no total, mesma quantidade de nomes como Al Pacino, Marlon Brando, Jack Lemmon e Geraldine Page. No entanto, diferente deles, O'Toole é o único entre os recordistas que nunca recebeu um prêmio da Academia - foi apenas presenteado com um Oscar Honorário, um prêmio pelo conjunto da obra, em 2003.
Mesmo com o Oscar pelo conjunto da obra, o reconhecimento virá, como sempre e infelizmente, post-mortem.
Descanse em paz...
