Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid are wed.

The Silence of the Lambs wins the Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Actor, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay Oscars in 1992. It is the first time since 1975's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest that a film has won the big five (it also shares this distinction with 1934's It Happened One Night). Some credit the landslide with the fact that Silence had been released much earlier in the year (the film went wide February 14th -- Happy Valentine's Day!) and was available to the older members of the Academy on videotape, a relatively new feature in the Academy voting process.
