25 People Who Won Oscars for Their First Films According to Yardbarker

...actually 24...
"In addition to an awesome amount of skill, winning an Academy Award takes a combination of both favorable timing and a little bit of luck. When an accomplished actor such as Leonardo DiCaprio takes a longer-than-expected amount of time to win his first (25 years, in Leo's case), fans react with shock. Then consider others — such as Tom Cruise and Glenn Close — who have still never won. On the other hand, some actors, directors and screenwriters get lucky right out of the gate: first movie, first Oscar. Although this is an exclusive group, it contains a few folks who might surprise you. Here are 25 people who won Oscars for their first films." - yardbarker.com
