From the February 24, 2019, Parade Magazine by Mara Reinstein.

Here are some of the smallest and biggest numbers related to Hollywood's biggest night.

0--  Number of nominations Richard Gere has received.

1--  Weekends it took Best Picture Nominee "Black Panther" to outgross the entire run of 2018 Best Picture Winner "The Shape of Water" at the Box Office.

2--  Number of words in the shortest acceptance speech ever.    In case you're wondering, Patty Duke in accepting her Best Supporting Actress award in 1963 for "The Miracle Worker."  No playoff the stage music for her.

5--  Number of actors/actresses who've pulled off consecutive wins, including Tom Hanks' Best Actor trophies for "Philadelphia" (1994) and "Forrest Gump" )1995).
