The Youngest Oscar Winner Hadn’t Even Started Middle School Before Her Win

Emmanuel Ronquillo — Sat, 09 Dec 2023 23:15:18 GMT

The Oscars are some of the most prestigious honors in film, with the gold Oscar trophy being ubiquitous with critical acclaim and success. The near century’s worth of history for this award ceremony has seen a plethora of different winners and nominees, some of whom were much younger than the rest of their competition. Of all the youngest Oscar winners to date, the trophy holder who won her award at the earliest age was Tatum O'Neal for Paper Moon. Let’s take a look at the five most popular and competitive categories at the Academy Awards – Best Director, Best Actor/Actress in a Leading Role, Best Actor/Actress in a Supporting Role — and see who took home the trophy in the earlier years of their lives.

Kathryn Hahn Put (Literal) Sweat and Tears Into ‘Tiny Beautiful Things’

Taylor Gates — Sun, 03 Dec 2023 12:52:22 GMT

Kathryn Hahn is one of the most versatile actresses working today. From comedic turns in movies like Bad Moms (which we deserve more of) and Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery to more dramatic ones in shows like I Know This Much Is True and Transparent, delicious villains in comic book projects like WandaVision and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse to complex women in indie films like Afternoon Delight and Private Life (which she should have gotten an Oscar nomination for), she can do it all. This range came in handy for her role of Clare in the dramedy miniseries Tiny Beautiful Things, for which she’s nominated for an Emmy — her third nomination overall and her first for a leading role.

Only One Person Has Won a Write-In Oscar

Lindsey Clouse — Wed, 29 Nov 2023 23:18:46 GMT

For the vast majority of its 95-year history, the Academy Awards has banned write-in voting. In the modern era, fans and industry insiders alike occasionally propose write-in campaigns for movies and creators snubbed by the nomination process, despite the fact that it's outlawed in the official voting rules. But for a brief period from 1935 to 1936, the Academy did allow write-in votes, and one person actually won as a write-in. Cinematographer Hal Mohr took home an Oscar for A Midsummer Night's Dream in 1936 — and he has Bette Davis' 1935 snub to thank for it.

This Comedian Was Awarded the Only Wooden Oscar Statue

Lloyd Farley — Tue, 28 Nov 2023 01:45:14 GMT

The Academy Awards' Oscars are the most esteemed prizes in Hollywood, with the statuette, a 1-foot-8 inch tall, 24-karat gold Adonis with a name of much debated origin, being the ultimate prize of everyone in Hollywood. While the movies may change, the Oscar itself has not... with one notable exception. It was an Oscar made of wood, with a movable mouth, handed out as an Honorary Oscar in 1937. At first glance, it seems like an odd medium to craft an Oscar out of, let alone distribute at a ceremony where every other winner gets a "normal" golden Oscar. But then, the recipient was never quite like the others, opting to work with his sidekick while entertaining millions. The recipient of the wooden Oscar was famed ventriloquist Edgar Bergen, and the special Oscar was the perfect way to celebrate his work.

'Fallen Leaves' Review — Finland’s Oscar Submission Is a Unique Love Story

Chase Hutchinson — Fri, 17 Nov 2023 21:00:18 GMT

One of the unfortunate things that can come with watching movies all the time is the feeling that you may have seen all there is to see. Even as the pieces may be rearranged differently, a sense of familiarity with narrative patterns and tropes can start to weigh on you heavily. No matter how big and loud it may play the hits, this can grow painfully tiresome all too quickly. Thankfully, there are emotional epics of small moments that can sneak up on and prove to be one-of-a-kind when you least expect them to. It just requires keeping an open mind to seeking them out and you’ll discover spectacular works you might otherwise have missed.

15 Horror Movies from the Last Decade That Deserved Oscar Nominations

Ali Teske — Fri, 27 Oct 2023 14:00:22 GMT

Another year, another set of horror films snubbed first by the Golden Globes and now by the Academy Awards. Much to the baffled dismay of horror fans, the excellence in all disciplines of filmmaking that the genre presents in abundance is set to go unrecognized yet again on "Hollywood's Biggest Night." While the genre has had some films sneak into the Oscars over the years, the vast majority of horror magnificence has been either ignored or actively shunned.

Winning an Oscar is every film artist's dream. But breaking a record while at it is something really special, and while it is a show of the ultimate artists' finesse, sometimes it takes a stroke of luck and a happy coincidence. The youngest-ever Oscar winner snagged the award for Best Supporting Actress while playing alongside her father at the age of nine! That record belongs to Tatum O'Neal for her role in Paper Moon. There is an actor who portrayed the role of an Oscar winner so well that the performance earned her an Oscar herself. Amidst the grandeur of Academy Award records, there are some controversial ones. Three times, winners of the Oscars have refused their awards, and the recipient that founded this group was Dudley Nichols, a screenwriter. But in this piece, we'll explore a bitter-sweet story of the actor who holds the record for the youngest Academy Award winner for Best Actor: Adrien Brody.
