8. Oscar Sweep

In 1934, Frank Capra’s It Happened One Night won the Academy Award in the five major categories: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Screenplay (adapted). It took 41 years for the feat to be repeated, when Cuckoo’s Nest took home all five Oscars in 1975: Producers Michael Douglas and Saul Zaentz for Best Movie, Milos Forman for Best Director, Jack Nicholson for Best Actor, Louise Fletcher for Best Actress, and Laurence Hauben and Bo Goldman for Best Adapted Screenplay. The only film to accomplish the same thing since Cuckoo’s Nest was The Silence of the Lambs in 1991.
