Spencer Tracy and Tom Hanks. Tracy won back-to-back Best Actor Oscars for "Captains Courageous" (1937) and "Boys Town" (1938)." A little more than 50 years later, Tom Hanks duplicated the feat, winning for "Philadelphia" (1993) and "Forrest Gump" (1994).

The first man to win two Academy Awards for a 1990s movie was Kevin Costner. He received two Oscars as the producer and director of "Dances with Wolves," which was named Best Picture of 1990.
