The 21st Academy Awards


 The 21st Academy Awards were held on March 24, 1949, honoring the films of 1948. The ceremony was moved from the Shrine Auditorium to the Academy's own theater, primarily because the major Hollywood studios had withdrawn their financial support in order to address rumors that they had been trying to influence voters. This year marked the first time a non-Hollywood production (Laurence Olivier's Hamlet) won Best Picture, and the first time an individual (Olivier) directed himself in an Oscar-winning performance.

Laurence Olivier's production of "Hamlet" won for Best Picture over Jerry Wald's "Johnny Belinda", Michael Powell's "The Red Shoes", Anatole Litvak's "The Snake Pit", and Henry Blanke's "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre".
John Huston won Best Director for "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" over Laurence Olivier "Hamlet", John Negulesco "Johnny Belinda", Fred Zinnermann "The Search", and Anatole Litvak "The Snake Pit".
Laurence Olivier was awarded the Best Actor Oscar for his performance as "Hamlet" while the other contenders were Lew Ayres "Johnny Belinda", Montgomery Clift "The Search", Dan Dailey "When My Baby Smiles at Me", and Clifton Webb "Sitting Pretty".
Jane Wyman was awarded the Best Actress award for "Johnny Belinda" while other nominees were Ingrid Bergman "Joan of Arc", Olivia De Havilland "The Snake Pit", Irene Dunne "I Remember Mama", and Barbara Stanwyck "Sorry, Wrong Number".
Walter Huston won Best Supporting Actor for "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" directed by his son, John Huston while the other nominees were Charles Bickford "Johnny Belinda", Jose Ferrer "Joan of Arc", Oscar Homolka "I Remember Mama", and Cecil Kellaway "The Luck of the Irish".
Claire Trevor won Best Supporting Actress for "Key Largo" while other nominees were Barbara Bel Geddes "I Remember Mama", Ellen Corby "I Remember Mama", Agnes Moorehead "Johnny Belinda", and Jean Simmons "Hamlet".
