The Academy Awards have had only seven ties since their inception in 1932—one notable instance was the Best Actor tie in 1932 between Wallace Beery and Fredric March. More drama surrounded the award when March mistakenly celebrated as the sole winner until the tie was announced. The most famous tie occurred in 1969 for Best Actress, awarded to Katharine Hepburn and Barbra Streisand. In 2013, the Oscars experienced the first tie of the 21st century in Best Sound Editing, shared by “Skyfall” and “Zero Dark Thirty.” These ties reflect the close competition in film recognition over the decades.
