The Oscars are always filled with a few surprising moments, including the winners' circle. Even though this year's Academy Awards haven't taken place yet, there are quite a few winners from years past that you may have forgotten about. Did you know talk show host Oprah Winfrey has a humanitarian award? What about rapper Eminem's best original song? Here are 10 celebrities you didn't realize have Oscars.

01

Lionel Richie

The iconic singer grabbed best original song for "Say You, Say Me" in 1986.

05

Three 6 Mafia
