Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay husband, Sydney Box, for the 1945 film "The Seventh Veil". The Boxes are also the first married couple to win in this category. Only three other married couples won an Oscar in another category—Earl W. Wallace and Pamela Wallace (for Original Screenplay), Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh (for Adapted Screenplay and Picture), and Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez (for Original Song). In 1996, Joel Coen and Ethan Coen became the only siblings to win in this category (for "Fargo"). Francis Ford Coppola ("Patton", 1970) and Sofia Coppola ("Lost in Translation", 2003) are the only father-daughter pair to win. Preston Sturges
