28. 1934's It Happened One Night set a high standard when it won Academy Awards® in the following four categories: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress and Best Screenplay. Only two other films have ever achieved such a feat: 1975's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and 1991's The Silence of the Lambs.
29. There have only been two instances where sisters have been nominated within the same category in the same year. In 1941 Joan Fontaine and her sister Olivia de Havilland were both nominated for Best Actress. (Joan Fontaine won the Oscar®.) In 1966 Lynn Redgrave and Vanessa Redgrave were both nominated for the Best Actress award. (Neither of the sisters won the award.)
30. There have only been 5 instances of an Academy Award® tie. Wallace Beery (The Champ) and Fredric March (Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde) tied for best actor in 1932. (March had one more vote than Beery, but Academy rules at the time stated that anything within 3 votes would be called as a tie.) In 1949 A Chance To Live and So Much for So Little both won the Documentary (Short Subject) award. In 1968 Katharine Hepburn and Barbara Streisand both won the Best Actress award. In 1986 Artie Shaw: Time Is All You've Got and Down and Out in America both won the Documentary (Feature) award. In 1994 Franz Kafka's It's a Wonderful Life and Trevor both won the Short Film (Live Action) award.
