In fact, though there are those who have rejected their Oscars (Marlon Brando, Dudley Nichols), only one award has ever been revoked in
Young Americans is, therefore, the only film in Oscar history to have had an award revoked.
In 94 ceremonies, only one Oscar has ever been taken back by the Academy.
Olympia Dukakis
The late actor had her Oscar for Moonstruck stolen in 1988 by a thief with very specific awards-show preferences. Despite Dukakis's Oscar being on display in her kitchen alongside her Golden Globe and other awards, only her Oscar was pilfered.
Actor Harold Russell sold the Oscar he won for his role in 'For the Best Years of Our Lives' in 1944 in exchange for 60,500 dollars in order to pay for his wife's illness.
The reason for taking back was revealed that the documentary actually premiered in the year 1967, making it ineligible to run for the 1968 Award. Therefore, Young Americans is the only film to have its award revoked on technical grounds.
Who is the youngest ever Oscars winner? There are, of course, multiple different types of award on offer at the Oscars, but the youngest person to win any of them at all is Tatum O'Neal. She won Best Supporting Actress at the 1974 Oscars at the age of 10.
Brando did not appear at the function but a buckskin clad American Indian woman Sacheen Little Feather, got on the stage and told the audience: “Marlon Brando very regretfully cannot accept this award because of the treatment of American Indians in this country to-day on the television, on reruns and recent happenings ...
Six have won exactly three acting Academy Awards: Daniel Day-Lewis (three Best Actor awards), Frances McDormand (three Best Actress awards), Meryl Streep (two Best Actress awards and one Best Supporting Actress award), Jack Nicholson (two Best Actor awards and one Best Supporting Actor award), Ingrid Bergman (two Best ...
Only three films have won all five of these major awards: It Happened One Night (1934), One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975), and The Silence of the Lambs (1991). Eight films failed to win any of the five major awards after being nominated in each category.
Depicting a knight holding a crusader's sword, the Oscar was designed in 1928 by MGM art director Cedric Gibbons and sculpted by Los Angeles artist George Stanley. It is composed of 24-karat gold-plated bronze. The sleek award stands 13.5 inches tall and weighs a hefty 8.5 pounds.
The British method actor Daniel Day-Lewis is the only performer to have ever achieved the feat of winning three Academy Awards for 'Best Actor', rightfully claiming the statuette for three excellent movies.
This is a list of people have won multiple Academy Awards in a single year in the standard competitive categories. To date, a total of 86 individuals have achieved this feat on 99 distinct occasions with the multiple winners having won more than one awards that year.
Renee Zellweger
Zellweger had a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for "Cold Mountain," and then she got what was considered a puzzling win for Best Actress for playing Judy Garland. Her speech was also strange, but the fact is she has two Oscars now.
Another star who's been nominated for an Oscar but never won: Johnny Depp. The actor and musician has been up for best actor three times.
To put it simply, the answer is 'no,' the winners don't get paid in cash. As per media reports, there never really is any direct cash prize for winning an Oscar; however, those who do win, see a boost to their bank accounts and reputation, often eventually.

In 1951, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) regulated its rules to prevent the sale of these awards. If a winner would like to sell his Oscar, they must offer it to the Academy, which will pay them one dollar for the statuette.
Since 1951, all Academy Award winners must sign an agreement that they “shall not sell or otherwise dispose of the Oscar statuette, nor permit it to be sold or disposed of by operation of law, without first offering to sell it to the Academy for the sum of $1”.
Ryan Reynolds
Lively's husband, Reynolds, hasn't been nominated for any of the biggies (Oscars, Emmy, Golden Globe) just yet; he has, however, been inducted onto the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
