mibmob says: Do you mean for a film or the lifetime achievement award? Jessica Tandy may be oldest to get an ordinary acting oscar for Driving Miss Daisy, though I haven't checked.

GEORGE BURNS was the oldest Oscar winner in a competitive category when he won the 1975 award for 'The Sunshine Boys' at age 80, UNTIL at the 1989 awards 80-year old JESSICA TANDY won Best Actress for 'Driving Miss Daisy'. (80 years, 295 days.) Although she didn't win again, losing out to JODY FOSTER ('The Silence Of The Lambs') she later surpassed even that mark by receiving her second Oscar nomination in 1991 at age 82 (for 'Fried Green Tomatoes'). However GROUCHO MARX was the oldest recipient of any Oscar, having been given an Honorary Award in 1973 when he was 83 years old. http://www.eudesign.com/oscars/osc-curi.htm Apr 07 03, 1:50 PM

Who is the youngest Oscar winner? What about the oldest? What Oscar winner as Best Picture had the shortest name? How did the Academy Award get the nickname 'Oscar?' Who dubbed the Academy Award 'oscar' after her husbands bottom?
