The person who has won the second most number of Oscars had to do with sets and the third had to do with music.

Half points if you can name any of their movies.

- So are today's designers and composers not as good, or are there just more of them? -- nm - Meg Aug 25, 11:47 2
  - There are more of them, probably. In Golden Age Hollywood, these films would have been made by the studios - con_carne Aug 25, 11:54
  - in the old days there were only a couple of studios and their main guy got the A list projects so there were only a few with a chance -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 25, 11:53

John Williams and one of the Newman brothers -- nm - Peglegpete Aug 25, 11:35
Oz. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 25, 11:34
Alan Menken? -- nm - ajrimmer Aug 25, 11:25
I want to say Georg Solti, maybe he's got Grammys or something. But does the composer start with an S? -- nm - Max Aug 25, 11:23 3
- #3's name does not start with an S -- nm - con_carne Aug 25, 11:25 2
  - so then not Max Steiner. -- nm - Diva Aug 25, 11:27
  - well Shit. -- nm - Max Aug 25, 11:26
I thought one of them would have been Edith Head but your IM dispels that. -- nm - Diva Aug 25, 11:23 5
- (Oh, she is the winningest woman in Oscar history) -- nm - con_carne Aug 25, 11:27

  - Well that kills my guess. Mancini only has 4 wins. Only. -- nm - Was Bar Was Aug 25, 11:25 2
    - What a slacker -- nm - con_carne Aug 25, 11:47
    - Shoulda written songs better -- nm - prayformojo Aug 25, 11:31
I'm thinking Henry Mancini? -- nm - Was Bar Was Aug 25, 11:23
Alexander Courage for $3? -- nm - TWuG Aug 25, 11:22
Any of their movies that won, that is -- nm - con_carne Aug 25, 11:21
