DeMille actually only received two Academy Awards throughout his life in the business. An Honorary Oscar in 1950 and a Best Picture Oscar in 1953 for The Greatest Show on Earth.
A little off- season trivia gang!

Another travesty in the annals of Oscar history, Hitch never won an Oscar. Of his five nominations, the master of suspense never took home a golden statuette.
I just looked it for curiosity and wiki said he had 46 nominations and wiki said he had 46 nominations and took home 6 oscars. I may have read the question wrong. Of course even if so I realize someone may have won more than 6. OFC
Hitchcock was only nominated for 5 Oscars and never won. Tons of nominations for his films, that's probably what you saw. He was only nominated 5 times for Best Director. Sadly he never won an Oscar. 50 nominations for his films overall though. The Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award is the only thing the Academy ever awarded him. That was for career achievement.
I read something different on wiki but I also know even with 6 he's not even close. Looked up who has most also. OFC
Yeah, he never won an Oscar. Deserved to win, but never did. The 5 nominations seem few considering the legacy he has left behind. Also, Sky, how crazy is it who has the most? I doubt many people would think of that person. Hint: the person is thought to be frozen in time.

It's pure insanity that the man never won. He was only nominated for Rebecca, Lifeboat, Psycho, Rear Window, and Spellbound. Vertigo is my personal favorite of his films. A damn travesty that the man never won. He was a bit of an odd personality in real life, but the man could direct the hell out of a film.
Bit of an odd personality is putting it kindly ha. But an enormous talent.
You got it! 22 Oscars and 59 nominations for old Walt! You're up!
Don't get all dirty? Or don't get your clothes dirty? I can't remember the exact line, haha
It's the second one. That's one of my favorite episodes. It reminds me of my grandpa, Lord rest his soul. You're up!
Baltimore. I've never seen The Wire but was reading a recent list of top 100 shows and it was number one.
I wouldn't put it #1, but it was an incredible show. Duke (among other schools) has offered classes focusing on its social commentary.

In the Fast & Furious franchise, how many characters were thought to have been killed but later returned in later movies in the franchise?
Correct you’re up
Han was thought to have died in Fast & Furious Tokyo Drift but later returned in F9 which was supposed to be released this year but it’s release was postponed until next year because of the coronavirus
Letty was thought to have died in Fast & Furious but later returned in Fast & Furious 6
Owen Shaw was thought to have died in Fast & Furious 6 but later returned in Fate of the Furious
