    Now we have Academy Awards, Golden Globes, Cesars, MTV Movie Awards, Baftas and so on, which actor or actress has won the greatest number of awards?

    What practice will the 82nd Academy Awards or Oscars revive in 2010 that was last done during the 16th Academy Awards held in 1944?

    My acting career turned out well, even though I was a dropout from New York's High School of Performing Arts and turned down major roles in several notable films. I worked odd jobs before breaking into theater, eventually winning both an Obie and two Tony awards. An early screen part as a junkie got me an audition for 'The Godfather,' and I would star in many crime dramas over the next 30 years, playing both criminals and cops. After many nominations, I won an Academy Award in 1993. Who am I?
