List of All Oscar Winners -- A List of Academy Award Winners From Each Decade

Every actor on the planet gathers around the TV, either at a party or in their living room, to see who gets to take home the hardware on Oscar night each year. It is a fun event with a long, storied history.

Since the time is here, you should get a few of your basic facts straight before you head of to you party. Just knowing a few little facts will really 'wow' them at the party:

*Bob Hope has hosted the show the most times, 19.

*Hattie McDaniel was the first black performer to win an Oscar for 'Gone With The Wind'

*Oscar Hammerstein is the only 'Oscar' to win an Oscar.

*Jack Nicholson has been nominated 12 times, that's the most.

Just think about heading into that party with knowledge like that! Here is my list of favorite past winners separated by decade:
