List of All Oscar Winners — A List of Academy Award Winners From Each Decade
Every actor on the planet gathers around the TV, either at a party or in their living room, to see who gets to take home the hardware on Oscar night each year. It is a fun event with a long, storied history.
Since the time is here, you should get a few of your basic facts straight before you head of to you party. Just knowing a few little facts will really ‘wow’ them at the party:
*Bob Hope has hosted the show the most times, 19.
*Hattie McDaniel was the first black performer to win an Oscar for ‘Gone With The Wind’
*Oscar Hammerstein is the only ‘Oscar’ to win an Oscar.
*Jack Nicholson has been nominated 12 times, that’s the most.
