With whom did Katharine Hepburn tie for Best Actress at the 1969 Oscars?
Answer Barbra Streisand
Here's the crazy part: At the time, members of the Academy couldn't actually vote on the awards until two years after they'd first been in a movie. Gregory Peck, who was the president of the Academy at the time, bent the rules for Streisand. It's a safe bet she voted for herself, causing the tie that led to her snagging an Oscar for her first film, "Funny Girl."
