It's time for the Oscars! Or part of them, whatever they actually decide to air – which mostly seems the awards that pretty people will win. Which is fine, that's their job -- and it's our job is to tell you random facts about Oscar winners of days past. Someday soon we'll do another list like this and it'll feature all the films that win tonight, so let's hope anything interesting actually wins. Hopefully no one too interesting shows up, though.

So here are some movies you probably forgot were even nominated for the Oscars, and Easter eggs hidden in them -- because Oscar-winning movies aren't all dull drama, sometimes they have a weird T. rex randomly in the background.
Yes, believe it or not, all these films were nominated for the Oscars, and all but Fight Club won at least one.
