    		And someone might as well mention that only two films have done it since:
    "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and "Silence of the Lambs".

    		"It Happened One Night" also earned the Best Writer award, making it the first film to "scoop the pool" by winning all five major categories.

    		And it's still very, very funny today.

    Incidentally,there's an obscure reference to it in the more recent film 'Bandits', when Cate Blanchette and one of the bank robbers are forced to share a bedroom and erect the 'Walls of Jericho' as separation.
