Ties are incredibly rare in Oscar history because the Academy uses a massive pool of voters. However, in 1969, Katherine Hepburn and Barbra Streisand both received exactly 3,030 votes for Best Actress. Hepburn won for 'The Lion in Winter' and Streisand for 'Funny Girl.' Both were awarded a statuette. Streisand was present to accept her award, famously wearing a see-through sequined outfit, while Hepburn (who rarely attended ceremonies) was absent. This remains the only time a tie has occurred in a lead acting category. While there have been other ties in technical or documentary categories, the 1969 event is remembered as the most shocking and glamorous 'split' in the history of the show.
