That'll Be The Day. Before Driving Miss Daisy in 1989, what was the only Oscar-winning Best Picture for which the director hadn't even been nominated for Best Director? |

There's actually two: 1927/28: Wings from un-nominated director William Wellman won Best Picture, while the Best Director award went to Frank Borzage for Seventh Heaven 1931/32: Grand Hotel the Best Picture winner was directed by unnominated Edmund Goulding - Frank Borzage won Best Director for Bad Girl |

Wings didn't technically win Best Picture. There was no such name for an award until the second Academy Award ceremonies. We deal in technicalities. What's your question? |

Well, every source I can find, including Robert Osborne's "85 Years of the Oscar: The Official History of the Academy Awards" (which I've read, great book), cites all three movies, including WINGS. Technically, I will go with the official Oscar source. What actor received two Oscars in the same year, for the same role? Edited by The Batman, Aug 25 2014, 12:42 PM.

It was retroactively given "Best Picture", an award that didn't exist in 1929. Mr. Diego, what's YOUR question? |

He was blind in one eye and couldn't see in 3 dimensions. Name at least two film actors who changed their names mid-career and went on to work in a number of films. |

Well, we serial fans can name two quite easily - Herman Brix and Lorna Gray. About whom was a member of Congress speaking when he said, "His loathsome pictures must be kept from before the eyes of American youth"? |
