I know this is a really, ...

Question: I know this is a really, really stupid question, but some friends and I were talking about the Olsen twins and (not that either of them is ever going to be nominated for an Academy Award — sorry Mary-Kate! Sorry Ashley!), but we were wondering: Have twins ever shared an Oscar?


Answer: I'd go so far as to say it's a very silly question but I'd stop short of stupid, perhaps because I was actually curious enough to look into it. And the answer is yes, though the twins in question aren't actors: They're Julius J. and Philip G. Epstein, two of the three screenwriters who wrote Casablanca (1943).
