    Who is the only Academy Award presenter to give himself an Oscar?

    Question #16539. Asked by an alias. (Feb 10 02 8:44 AM)


    Calpurnia

    		Apparently Walt Disney presented himself with an Oscar in 1932 but he may not be the only person to have done this. I've found a reference to Irving Berlin doing the same in 1942 but I haven't been able to confirm this definitely.
