I’ll take a stab at it without consulting any search engine or movie book:
The two actresses to tie for best actress in 1968 are: Barbra Streisand and Kate Heburn.
I forget Bawbaw’s movie, but Kate, I think, was Lion In Winter, as Queen Eleanor.
“His eyes are as green as a fresh-pickled toad,
His hair is as dark as a blackboard,
I wish he was mine, he’s really divine,
The hero who conquered the Dark Lord.”
Which 2 films share the top spot with 11 Oscar awards each?
Didn’t “Titanic” take 11? I think “Schindler’s List” took the other 11. Or was it “Ben Hur”?
Here’s three more:
A: Who is the youngest person to win Best Actress? (BONUS QUESTION: What was the movie?) HINT: I thought it was Anna Paquin for “The Piano,” but I was wrong.
B: What movie won Best Picture the year “Star Wars” was nominated?
C: What one person has won more Academy Awards than anybody else?

Shirley Temple I have no idea on the Movie
B: What movie won Best Picture the year “Star Wars” was nominated?
The Godfather?
C: What one person has won more Academy Awards than anybody else?
Tom Hanks
Voted Biggest Smartass by all you beautiful people!
You always use violence. I should’ve ordered glutinous rice chicken.
Was, of course, Rocky. Lord knows, I’ve got no use for Mr. Stallone in most circumstances, but Rocky is a much better picture than most people remember. Forget the sequels and parodies it spawned, and consider the film itself. Hell, at the time, Stallone was being touted as the new Brando, a fair comparison when you watch the performance. He was even nominated for Best Actor! He might have even won if the award hadn’t been copped by the recently deceased Peter Finch (Network). Talk about the sympathy vote!
The big question re. Rocky was the script. Who wrote it? Stallone gets credit, and was even nominated for (another) Oscar for the feat (losing to Paddy Chayefsky for, again Network). But I’ve always heard the the ‘word-on-the-street’ was that it was ghost written. He’s certainly never come up with anything half as good, since.
Q: Who is the youngest person to win Best Actress? (BONUS QUESTION: What was the movie?)
It wasn’t Tatum O’Neal - she won for Best Supporting Actress (as did Anna Paquin), not Best Actress. And Shirley Temple’s award was an honorary one, not a regular win.
I also read somewhere that Walt Disney has won the most awards, but I read it was 20, not 32 (maybe 32 nominations?).
Al Pacino is correct for the Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor question. (Maybe there’s more than 1 person who has received both nominations?)
Finally, is the one about which film won Best Picture the year Star Wars was nominated a trick question? Because if it means which film won for the same release year as Star Wars, the answer is Annie Hall (they were both released in 1977). But if the question means which film won during the actual year of Star War’s nomination (not release), the answer is The Deer Hunter (Star Wars was released in 1977 but actually nominated in calendar year 1978.) Or am I just being too grammar-picky?
…how can both of these be correct? Anyway, I’m pretty sure it’s Ben Hur and Titanic that both got 11 awards. I remember that because after Titanic won so many, some of the cranky old Ben Hur people who’re still alive said that it didn’t really count because new categories had been introduced since Ben Hur.
Here’s one: Who’s been nominated 38 times over the last 32 years, sometimes getting up to three nominations in a single year?
A: Who is the youngest person to win Best Actress? (BONUS QUESTION: What was the movie?) HINT: I thought it was Anna Paquin for “The Piano,” but I was wrong.
–Youngest Supporting Actress = Tatum O’Neal
–Youngest Best Actress = Marlee Matlin
B: What movie won Best Picture the year “Star Wars” was nominated?
Was Star Wars really nominated??
Not sure what won in 1977
C: What one person has won more Academy Awards than anybody else?
–If you count “honorary awards” I believe it’s Walt Disney. Not including those, it’s Woody Allen. For acting, Katharine Hepburn has won the most (four, I think)
The 2 with 11 wins each are Ben Hur and Titanic, not Lawrence of Arabia. However, LOA does share 1 characteristic with 2 other winners in being more than 3 and 1/2 hours long. What are the others?
Hint:
the only person to win both supporting and actor for the same role did it in the same movie…which would not be possible under new rules.
