My statement is biased by my own experiences I admit. Maybe the honorary Oscar he received in 2007 is somewhat a more objective illustration of what I meant.

He did get an Oscar for The Hateful Eight in 2015, though.
He should have gotten one for 'the good, the bad, the ugly'. Didnt check though who else got it that year.
This one did: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Born_Free (original score by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Barry_(composer) )
Fun fact: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly did not receive an academy award nomination in any category.
Leone’s movies were consistently discounted by US critics.
