However, this time we've decided to offer you a selection of photos featuring the famous actors, actresses and directors who became the first-ever Oscar winners in their nominations since the establishment of the Academy Awards.

Scott during pregame ceremonies before the American League playoff game between Oakland and Detroit in this Oct. 8, 1972, photo in Oakland, Calif. Scott won the Oscar for his role in the movie Patton, but declined it, so Finley decided that Oct. 8, 1972, would be a good day to present his Oscar to the actor. Scott, the gifted, gravelly-voiced actor best known for portraying Patton and refusing the 1970 Academy Award for the performance, died Wednesday, Sept. 22, 1999. He was 71. - Sputnik International
