Something to do while you're waiting for the Barbara Walters special to end:
- When was the first televised Academy Awards program?
- What was the first Best Picture winner?
- Who has the most Academy Awards for directing?
- How many times have all four of the major acting Oscars gone to non-Americans?
- What individual has won the most Academy Awards?
- Name the only two men to have won three Academy Awards for acting.
- Name all three films to have won the "Big Five" awards (Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director).
Final: Who holds the record for most Academy Award nominations without a win?
(This may or may not be a hint: The answer to this question does not depend on tonight's results.)
