FYI, Charlollete - Many films have actually won more than 5 Oscars. The current record holders are "Ben-Hur", "Titanic", and "Return of the King", each of whom took home 11. The Silence of the Lambs is notable, however, for sweeping all 5 major oscar categories (Actor, Actress, Director, Writer, and Best Picture), becoming only the 3rd film in Oscar history to do so. (The others were "It Happened One Night" in 1935 and "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" in 1975.) Actually, I think that's really a much better judge of quality in the end.

This rumour has been debunked several times over. The story is actually in reference to the original Hannibal sequel that was already made...8 years ago. If the Ridley Scott + no Jodie Foster beats sounded familiar it's because that's exactly what happened the first time. The sad thing is that if they didn't learn anything then, they probably never will and this film wouldn't have been much better than "Hannibal."
