TIL: only three movies have swept picture, director, actor, actress and screenplay at the Oscars: "It Happened One Night", "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", and "The Silence of the Lambs".
Bugs Bunny was created as a parody of Clark Gable's character from It Happened One Night, who talked through a mouthful of carrots in one scene as a gag.
But wild rabbits don't eat root vegetables.
So today, people feed carrots to pet rabbits because of a 1940 cartoon parody of a 1934 Clark Gable movie.
