As the season is upon us - Oscars from me:
Vito Corleone is the only role to achieve two oscars - Marlon Brando (Best Actor) in The Godfather and Robert De Niro (Best Supporting Actor) in The Godfather Part II.
The only films to win 11 Oscars are Ben Hur, Titanic and Lord of the Rings; Return of the King - the last being the only film to have won in all the categories for which it was nominated.
The only twins to win Oscars were Julius and Philip Epstien for Casablanca.
The only actor to be nominated for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor in the same year was Al Pacino in 1992.
The only person to ever open the Oscar envelope to find their own name inside was Irving Berlin for Best Song (White Christmas, 1942).
Actors whose only Oscars have been awarded for Directing; Robert Redford (Ordinary People), Warren Beatty (Reds), Richard Attenborough (Ghandi), Kevin Costner (Dances With Wolves) and Mel Gibson (Braveheart).
