It’s been almost a century since the Oscars began, and in that time, many films have come close to taking home the big five awards. Those awards are: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Original/Adapted Screenplay. But claiming victory in all five categories isn’t exactly easy. In fact, it’s a feat so rare it’s only happened three times in the history of the awards, with 1935’s “It Happened One Night,” 1975’s “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” and 1991’s “The Silence of the Lambs” being the only films to have taken home statues in all of those major categories.
