在贏得最佳女主角獎《歌廳》(1972年)后，麗莎·明奈利是(現(xiàn)在仍然是)唯一的一位影星，其父母曾贏得過奧斯卡獎。她母親朱迪·加蘭1939年獲得榮譽獎項；而她的父親文森特·明奈利獲得影片《金粉世界》最佳導演獎(1958年)。

As a result, before an Academy Award winner or his/her estate can sell an Oscar, they must first offer to sell it back to the Academy for one dollar (yes, one dollar). This, of course, is to discourage winners from selling the award for financial gain. Oscars awarded before 1950, however, are not bound by this agreement. In 2011, Orson Welles's 1941 Oscar for 'Citizen Kane' was sold at auction for over $800,000.

15. The legendary Alfred Hitchcock was nominated five times for Best Director, but never took home the Oscar.
創(chuàng)奇導演阿爾弗雷德·希區(qū)柯克有過5次最佳導演的提名，但從來也沒有將奧斯卡金像獎的獎杯捧回家。
