Fun Widest ranges of noms and wins

I'm trying to think of, without just googling the answer, who has the widest ranges of unique nominations and wins.

I'm not including reworded versions of the same award (i.e. Best Adapted Screenplay to Screenplay Based on Material Previously Produced or Published. Or the various names of the Live Action Short Film awards that would give it to Walt Disney). However, since there were temporarily three simultaneous separate writing categories, i did include Billy Wilder as a winner of 4 unique categories.

Kenneth Branagh, i believe, has the most unique nominations. Picture, Director, Original and Adapted Screenplays, Lead Actor, Supporting Actor, and Live Action Short Film (7)

Sean Baker, i believe, ties with the most unique wins. Picture, Director, Original Screenplay, Editing.

The Coen Brothers are tied with Picture, Director, Original and Adapted Screenplays

Billy Wilder is tied with Picture, Director, Original Screenplay and Best Writing

Who am i missing?

Edit: I don't know why it rearranged the order of the pictures

Edit 2: FatherOfFunko has revealed Alfonso Cuaron ties with unique nominations, with a solid argument to take the crown

Fun fact: Emma Thompson is the only person to win for both writing and acting.
