We're just two weeks away and some change! Since 16 is the magic number of the day, here are some memorable 16-related happenings at the Oscars.
Raiders of the Lost Ark was John Williams 16th nomination (out of 52!). Can you believe he lost for that adventure? Well, yes, because Chariots of Fire took Best Picture and that also had an instantly hooky score.
The 2016 Best Picture announcement (‘La La Land”... whoops, sorry, Moonlight’) will surely go down in history as one of the most memorable Oscar night moments ever.
Edith Head’s 16th nomination for Costume Design was for Career (1959) or was it The Five Pennies (1959)? she was a double-nominee that year.
Meryl Streep’s 16th nomination was for Julie & Julia (2009)
Jack Wild is the only 16 year old male actor ever nominated. Consider yourself, part of the family! … Best Supporting Actor nominee for Oliver! (1968)
Patty Duke is the only 16 year old to ever win, Supporting Actress for The Miracle Worker (1962). Remember when they featured those Oscars on that episode of Feud: Bette and Joan?
