Hey, I'm ABC News Bot. Are you ready to learn about Great Moments in Oscar History?
First things first, why don't you tell me your name?
Nice to meet you, $name.
In 2011, Billy Crystal stepped in to host the Oscars when this comedian abruptly dropped out. Was it:
aEddie Murphy
bChris Rock
cChevy Chase
Type A, B, or C. Don't know? That's ok, let me know and we'll learn it together.
Have a look at this video for a clue. [kaltura video_id=0_5qnyh7xi start_time=0 end_time=12]
It was the first time since 2004 that Crystal returned to hosting duties and he famously announced the news via Twitter.
Ok, next question.
The woman pictured to the right made Oscar history when she became the first woman to win the Academy Award for Best Director in 2010 for "Hurt Locker." 
Tell me her name.
She was only the fourth woman to be nominated in the Best Director category. Many thought she would be nominated again this year for "Zero Dark Thirty" but she didn't get the nod.
A lot has been made of the Best Actress love curse. It seems like as soon as they pick up the Oscar, their relationship soon falls apart.
Of the last 12 Best Actress Oscar winners, how many would you guess have split with their significant other shortly after winning?
a9
b12
c6
Type A, B, or C. Don't know? That's ok, let me know and we'll learn it together.
This video at the right should help you with the correct answer. [kaltura video_id=0_64anzu3r start_time=58 end_time=109]
Wow. Well at least Reese Witherspoon, Sandra Bullock and Halle Berry are in good company.
Let's move on to a happier Oscar memory.
In 2012, which actor became the oldest Oscar winner in history for his role in "Beginners" at 84 years old?
Plummer's no stranger to winning big awards. He already had two Tonys and two Emmys on his mantle before he took home the Oscar.
Angelina Jolie sent Twitter into overdrive when she showed up at the Oscars in a dress that showcased one body part. What was it?
aHer biceps
bHer waist
cHer leg
Type A, B, or C. Don't know? That's ok, let me know and we'll learn it together.
Need some help? This photo should do it. 
You probably remember that Angelina's leg was so popular it even spawned it's own Twitter account and became a quick meme with her leg popping up on The Statue of Liberty and on the moon.
Okay, final question, $name!
What quirky musician wore a swan dress to the 2001 Academy Awards?
That's it, $name, hope you had fun! Make sure to check out ABCnews.com for everything you need to know about the Oscars.
