Oscar "mistake" There is an urban legend that Tomei's Oscar for My Cousin Vinny should have gone to someone else. The rumour goes that during the 'Oscar' ceremony, Jack Palance announced Tomei as winner, while actually there was another name on his note. The mistake was considered too embarrassing to correct. This rumour has been debunked by Snopes. Filmography External links Tomei, Marisa Tomei, Marisa Tomei, Marisa Tomei, Marisa Tomei, Marisa Tomei, Marisa Tomei, Marisa
