My success with Christopher Tucker this week inspired me to look into my collection to see what other Oscar winners I have. Having never really thought about it before I was surpriised to find I have 15 different winners in my collection.

My missus watches the award shows, but I have never had any interest in who has won what, so never thought of my autographs in that context. I just like people for who they are and/or what they have done. I probably have a few. I know rickracoon has many, many great stars from the golden age of cinema, but he is unable to add pictures.
I met Goldie Hawn at her book signing Greg.
Where did you get your Spielberg from? That has to be one of the aces in the pack.
I think most people on this forum have that Connnery book. I have two. 🙂
I would say my favourite Oscar winner in my collection is John Huston. Nominated 15 times, winner twice, and also directed both his father (Walter) and daughter (Angelica) in Oscar winning performances.

Theres some crackers in there. Well done on some fantastic sigs.

Thanks for the kind words everyone
Nigel, would love to meet Goldie, used to love her films when I was younger, especially Private Benjamin.
I got the Lucas/Speilberg from a dealer in the US, got it thoroughly checked out before I brought it and got it for a good price too:-)
Love your Huston book

Good stuff,nice to see a few craft oscar winners,they are often forgotten,and they shouldnt be.
As Nige says Ive a fair few golden age of hollywood type autos from ip meetings, but to tell the truth Ive never really thought of trying to count oscar winners,heck I dont even have a clue to the nearest few thousand how many autos I have
One of the collectors used to only collect oscar winners but they had to be on photos of the osacar winning role,now thats a specialist collection.

Great collection Greg,I've got Sean Connery in the same book as you,and I think thats it!
