The film "Inglourious Basterds" didn't win best picture, but Christoph Waltz won Best Supporting Actor role, as the Jew hunter, Col. Hans Landa.
"Inglourious" joins a long line of World War II-related movies which have been nominated for the top honor. Almost 36, to be exact. The first movie was Charlie Chaplin's "The Great Dictator" in 1940.
Seven films won the Oscar from 1943's "Cassablanca" to 1996's "The English Patient." Winners in between were: The Best years of Our Lives 1946; From Here to Eternity 1953; The Bridge Over the River Kwai 1957; Patton 1970; and Schindler's List 1993.
A war movie did win, "The Hurt Locker."
