Yup- "Around the World in 80 Days" does not have opening credits or title. However there are extremely long end credits (for the 1950's).

More recently "The Right Stuff", a best picture nominee but not a winner, also does not have an opening title.

Good questions, Equus and a really wild guess on my part. Laughing I pass on asking the next question. Have to step out for awhile.

11, I think. Because it tied Ben-Hur, right?

No, but this is kind of a trick question.

Yes about Ben Hur.

Are you counting the total number of awards given out? Two producers each get one for Best Picture - that sort of thing?

I'll just give you the answer - don't want to be too cutesy and devious here - the 1953 Titanic won one award also - for "Story and Screenplay".

I think it was 1953 with Bob Hope in Black and White format and the first colour broadcast was in 1966 ?

Yes to 1953, hiama. I'm not sure about that color broadcast date, but it sounds about right...

"Gone With the Wind" was the first Best Picture winner (and maybe first movie,period) to use the word 'damn'. What was the second Best Picture winner to use that word?

What is the only film to win the Best Picture oscar that didn't win any other oscars?

What is this a quiz? Laughing

Some great questions, and I can't remember any, but two of them might pop into my head if I think about it for a while.

I'm going to go with Dr. Zhivago. It lost to Sound of Music.

In the unlikely event mac is wrong, I'll say Saving Private Ryan.

I can only remember two or three Oscars being sold, and the only one I know for sure is Harold Russell's for Best Years of our Lives, so I'll guess that.
