Award Show Oddities

[Bruno]

The Oscars have a long and interesting history, filled with surprising moments and little-known facts. For example, the very first Academy Awards ceremony in 1929 lasted just 15 minutes! What other interesting trivia do you know about award shows?

Did you know the Oscars once had a category for "Best Title Design"? It was like giving a trophy for the opening credits—talk about a niche award!

It’s wild to think the first Oscars were so short compared to today’s marathon broadcasts! Another fun fact—only three films have ever won all five major Oscars (Best Picture, Director, Actor, Actress, and Screenplay): It Happened One Night, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, and The Silence of the Lambs.
