What years did Walt Disney receive his 26 Academy Awards?

Walt Disney didn't win 26 Academy Awards himself. He received four honorary Oscars throughout his career:

* 1939: Honorary Award "for the creation of Mickey Mouse"

* 1940: Honorary Award "for significant contributions to the advancement of the art of motion pictures"

* 1950: Honorary Award for "outstanding contributions to the entertainment field"

He also won 26 competitive Academy Awards for his productions, but these were awarded to the Walt Disney Productions company, not directly to Walt Disney himself. These wins spanned from 1932 to 1968, and include awards for animated shorts, feature films, documentaries, and special achievement awards.
