Bugs Bunny and The Academy Awards
 

Out of all the great Bugs Bunny cartoons, why did Knight-Knight Bugs from 1958 become the only one to win? Poor competition that year, or was there something in that short that caught the Academy’s attention?
Plot Outline: Court jester Bugs races against the Black Knight (Yosemite Sam) and his sneezing dragon in pursuit of the Singing Sword.

Hardly Oscar fodder, when put side-by-side by such Bugs Bunny classics like Hillbilly Hare, The Rabbit of Seville, What’s Opera Doc? and (my personal favorite), Baby Buggy Bunny

Maybe they just figured it was about time.

Knight-Knight Bugs is pretty darn funny though. A fire-breathing dragon that has alergies? Priceless!

I've always liked Knight-Knight Bugs; but Hillbilly Hare deserved a string of Oscars. The 'squaredance' bit is hilarious.
