The Oscars is one of the most prestigious events in the entertainment industry. No award in the film industry worldwide is considered better than the Oscars. The winning movie always increases starkly in popularity. At this year’s event, ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’ won the best picture award, and deservedly so. However, many would not know that a prime member of the team involved in the production of the movie, Tim Headington, is a former tennis player.

Timothy Clare Headington is an American billionaire, and he worked as an executive producer in the Oscar-winning movie. Headington is the CEO of Headington Oil. While the name might suggest the firm is focused on oil, they also focus on several other ventures. The firm also produces movies and works in real estate.

Headington was enrolled in the University of Oklahoma. Additionally, he was a member of the tennis team of the university. His roots remained firm as the athletic director of his alma mater who also wished Headington. Joe Castiglione, former football player, took to Twitter to congratulate the alum of his university.
