    		Well the usual answer is Oscar Hammerstein II, although it's hard to prove he is the only one.

    Incidentally, there is a film about an Oskar that won a Best Film Oscar, that is "Schindler's List".

    		A search of the Academy Awards Database shows Oscar Hammerstein as the only winner among nominees with that name.

    There was an Oskar nominated as well, Oskar Werner for Ship of Fools. He lost.
