A Live Poll: Oscar Knows My Name
Live Poll: https://www.imdb.com/poll/p7lVSFbBs74/
. Only one person named Oscar has won an Oscar. That would be Oscar Hammerstein II. Many characters have been named Oscar. Only one actor won! Edmond O'Brien as Oscar Muldoon in The Barefoot Contessa (1954). But many Actors have won an Oscar for a film that had a character's name in the title.
Who is your favorite Actor and their famous Character portrayal?

She won the Oscar and the British Award for Best Actress, and Allen won the Directors Award from the DGA. ...
