If I'm not mistaken, the Hustons (Walter, John, and Angelica) are the only actors that have three generational Oscar wins.

Drew Barrymore is a charming actress, and it clearly runs in her family. I'm so delighted that she turned her life around to become a successful adult actress.

Why is Tony Goldwyn always left off of these? His grandparents are behind MGM.. stop leaving him off.
