 | How I failed at Oscar Trivia...... With all the coverage the Oscars were getting yesterday, my son asked me "Who has won the most Oscars ever?" I thought about it for a bit and replied "I'd guess it was not an actor. It's has to be someone behind the scenes, a director or producer...." So today I Googled it. Well damn. I sure as heck should have know the answer to that one! I think this might be even more embarrassing than the time I was standing in the Disneyland hub for a meet and pointed out Cinderellas castle to my little girl. Ohhh the looks I got!

| Re: How I failed at Oscar Trivia...... He has the record by a long shot, it would be very difficult for someone to catch up I think the runner up is still short about 15 as far as total nominations. Last edited by Disney Magic; 02-23-2009 at 04:21 PM. |

Did you ask for the "actor" with the most Oscars or the "person" with the most?

| Re: How I failed at Oscar Trivia...... Don't feel too bad, Moonliner. My mom keeps calling WDW's Cinderella Castle "Sleeping Beauty's Castle"... regardless HOW many times I correct her. I think the sun has finally bleached her brain.

| Re: How I failed at Oscar Trivia...... Hahaha I didn't know the answer to this for the longest time. My best friend who knows everything about the Oscars was astounded that I didn't know. Now I have it permenantly engrained in my brain. I want to say the count is 22 Oscars.
