The Oscars Got a… TIE?!

This year’s Oscars saw a rare tie in the Short Film category, with both The Singers and Two People Exchanging Saliva winning. This was only the seventh tie in the Academy Awards’ history. Interestingly, one of the winners incorrectly stated that this had only happened three times before. The most well-known tie was in 1969, when Katharine Hepburn and Barbra Streisand jointly won Best Actress for The Lion in Winter and Funny Girl. More recently, Best Sound Editing ended in a tie in 2013, with awards going to both Zero Dark Thirty and Skyfall. This year’s tie had an amusing outcome: one of the Two People Exchanging Saliva winners playfully teased Timothée Chalamet during their acceptance speech, which alone makes the moment worth remembering!
