First black Oscar winner?
Technically speaking, Lionel Barrymore is an appropriate answer because was nominated for Best Director (for the 1928 version of "Madame X") before he won the 1930-1931 Best Actor award for "A Free Soul." Then there's Sir Laurence Oliver, who directed himself to the 1948 Best Actor Oscar for his performance in "Hamlet." He didn't win the Best Director award that year, but he became the first person ever to win Oscars for Best Actor and Best Picture in the same year (Olivier produced "Hamlet"). The best answer is Woody Allen, who won the 1977 Best Director Oscar for "Annie Hall," which was named Best Picture. Allen, who also was nominated for Best Actor that year, had been dabbling in acting, directing and screenwriting since the late1960s. Three years after "Annie Hall," Robert Redford won an Academy Award for his first directorial project -- "Ordinary People," which was named Best Picture of 1980. Redford's Oscar success seemed to open the nomination floodgates during the decade for other actors turned directors. Warren Beatty, another superstar actor, won the 1981 Best Director Oscar for "Reds." Sir Richard Attenborough, the veteran British actor, won 1982 Oscars for directing and producing "Gandhi." Other actors turned Oscar-winning directors include: Sydney Pollack (Best Director of 1985 for "Out of Africa"); Barry Levinson (Best Director of 1988 for "Rain Man"); Kevin Costner (Best Director of 1990 for "Dances with Wolves"); Clint Eastwood (Best Director of 1992 for "Unforgiven" and Best Director of 2004 for "Million Dollar Baby"); Mel Gibson (Best Director of 1995 for "Braveheart"); and Ron Howard (Best Director of 2001 for "A Beautiful Mind").
