Oscar Trivia 1927 - 2003
There has been a plethora of Oscar winners over the years. Some of them are double, and yes, even triple-time winners. Some *GASP* are quadruple-time winners! So, here are lists of trivia which not only contain, but continue the extensive lists of trivia contained in the book Behind the Oscar: The Secret History of the Academy Awards [791.43079 HOL; New York: Simon & Schuster, ‘1993] by Anthony Holden. Not all the categories of trivia used in the book are used herein; only select categories have been used. These lists start from 1927 and continue where Behind the Oscar left off [circa 1991].
I would like to take an opportunity to thank Mr. Holden for his extensive time in preparing these trivia lists. It has been a labour of love to complete them and keep them up-to-date. Once again, this page could not have been possible without the unknowing help of Mr. Holden.
*Note* If the number of Oscars won are given, then the number of nominations
is in brackets along with the year of the films FIRST release, and vice versa.
Also, if a year appears in BOLD BEFORE the name of
the movie, it is the year of the Oscar show, NOT the year the film came out.
