Re: 92nd Oscar Trivia
People didn't receive Best Picture Oscars until 1951.
Douglas, Clooney, and Pitt are the three. Costner and Eastwood are Oscar nominees for acting with a Best Picture win.

Re: 92nd Oscar Trivia
Olivier would not count for Hamlet. At the time, studios were given the trophies, not producers. J. Arthur Rank-Two Cities Films is the listed nominee.

Re: 92nd Oscar Trivia
Did Laurence Olivier win a Best Picture Oscar? He’s listed as an uncredited producer for Hamlet, which makes me wonder if he received an actual Oscar for Best Picture.HarryGoldfarb wrote:Is Brad Pitt the fourth person to win an acting Oscar and Best Picture?
Laurence Olivier, Michael Douglas and George Clooney did it, but I am not sure if I am forgetting someone.

I indeed did.dws1982 wrote:You're forgetting that A Civil Action got the most forgettable Cinematography nomination of the past thirty years.Mister Tee wrote: Closest runners-up, I believe, with 3 apiece, would be Peter O'Toole (The Ruling Class, My Favorite Year, Venus) and Robert Duvall (The Apostle, A Civil Action, The Judge).
Like okri, I looked through 30 years of nominees, and it's hard to argue your point (maybe a half-hearted Batman Forever). The cinematographers' branch has cleaned up its act, since those days when they'd slip in a Butterflies Are Free or The Formula every year.
