Wiest / Brennan[edit]

According to two different versions of this page — the earlier one here and the newer one here — the cited source (Wiley & Bona 1996, p. 1181) says two different things.The source obviously can't be saying two different things. Until someone can quote what this offline source actually says, this WP:EXCEPTIONAL claim cannot remain. --Tenebrae (talk) 01:31, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Tenebrae: It's an interesting and perplexing case. According to the page in a section under "Points of Interest" from the book (Inside Oscar), it reads "My Hero: Dianne Wiest becomes first person to win two Acting awards from the same director (Woody Allen)." Another book Oscar A to Z: A Complete Guide to More Than 2,400 Movies Nominated for Academy Awards (Charles E. Matthews, 1995) lists Wiest as the first person to achieve that record. On page 1137 it reads, "Her prior win was for Hannah and Her Sisters (1986), which like Bullets Over Broadway was directed by Woody Allen, making her the only performer to win two acting Oscars under the direction of one person." I typed the phrase on Google Books and it listed page 1137 as the place to find that exact phrase (You will not see it online because It does only a snippet view of the page. It is there however because it detected the phrase). Here is the phrase searched on Google Books showing the book, and here is another search page indicating where that phrase can be found. Now in Walter Brennan's case, his first win for the film Come and Get It was originally directed by Howard Hawks, producer Samuel Goldwyn fired Hawks and hired William Wyler to direct the remainder portion of the film (roughly ten minutes according to this article by Turner Classic Movies. This article from Variety does make reference to it as does this article from the Chicago Tribune (You'll have to click on page two for the answer displaying Brennan). Making more things complicated, according to Jan Herman's book A Talent for Trouble: The Life of Hollywood's Most Acclaimed Director, William Wyler, it reads "In any case, Wyler never considered Come and Get It one of his pictures and disowned it every change he got (page 163)." I'm sticking with Wiest as the first person since most news sources point out Wiest (here's another source citing Wiest and I did a ProQuest search showing Wiest as the first as well).
