I suggest a publisher’s clearance house type of Oscar show. Camera crews will pop-in the oscar winner’s house with the oscar so that the element of shock is still their.
All the nominees would be notified.

DIDN’T PLAN TO WATCH ANYWAY, TIRED OF ALL THE PHONIES

The films and the actors listings from the past Oscars.

you should be able to find them here,
have fun!

Like could two movies or 2 actresses be named best movie/actress in the same year?

Two actresses tied vote-for-vote for Best Actress in 1969: Katharine Hepburn for "The Lion in Winter" and newcomer Barbra Streisand for "Funny Girl". I vividly recall Barbra looking at the Oscar in her hands and proclaiming, "Hello, gorgeous!"

In 1932, Fredric March and Wallace Beery received Best Actor Oscars for "Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde" and "The Champ", respectively. Wow! I found the count: one vote difference!

From Wikipedia:
There has only been one tie in the history of the Best Actor category, and it wasn’t an exact tie. In 1932, Fredric March received one more vote than Wallace Beery. Academy rules at that time considered such a close margin to be a tie, so both March and Beery received an Oscar. However, under the current Academy rules, dual awards are given only for exact ties.

Other ties for Oscars are:
Best Live Action Short Film for 1995~"Franz Kafka’s It’s a Wonderful Life" and "Trevor"

Best Documentary for 1950~"A Chance to Live" and "So Much for So Little"

There might be others. I’ll look around some more.

well i turned it off half way threw…wasn’t as good as i thought it would be and that was my first time watching!

I tried to finish watching the oscars, but I fell asleep to quickly. I wanted to know the Horror Films nominees and The winner of 2010
THANKS!

eh,,,There isnt a category for best horror film….
The only ever horror films nominated for best picture was The Exorcist (1973), The Silence of the Lambs (which won-1991), and The sixth sense was nominated in 2000.

The list of winners of the Oscars 2010 can be found here.

There is no Oscar for "Best Horror"
then they would have to have Best in all genres like drama, comedy etc
