Oscar Fun Facts

The 88th Academy Awards was this weekend, and we thought we’d keep the Oscar theme going after such a wonderful performance Sunday night.

In terms of age, Jennifer Lawrence is now the youngest person on the planet to be nominated four times before the age of 26.

Star Wars composer and music legend John Williams has been nominated 50 times. That makes him the second however behind Walt Disney (59 nominations) with a few years left to break that all-time record.

The youngest Oscar winner is Tatum O’Neal (10 years of age) and the oldest Oscar winner is Christopher Plummer (82 years of age). “Gone with the Wind” is the longest movie ever to win an Oscar (234 minutes).

Not every winner accepts the coveted Oscar. Marlon Brando refused to accept the award for his work in “The Godfather.”
