Oscar trivia
Who is the only Oscar to win an Oscar?
Oscar Hammerstein II won two Oscars for best original song—in 1941 for “The Last Time I Saw Paris” in the film Lady Be Good (shared with Jerome Kern), and in 1945 for “It Might as Well Be Spring” in State Fair (shared with Richard Rodgers). This Oscar was also nominated for 3 other Oscars, and currently has 342 song credits for movies and TV. The last song he wrote was “Edelweiss” from The Sound of Music (he passed away in 1960).
