The5th Academy Awardswere held by theAcademy of Motion Picture Arts and Scienceson November 18, 1932,[1]at theAmbassador Hotel[1]inLos Angeles,California,hosted byConrad Nagel.[1]Films screened in Los Angeles between August 1, 1931, and July 31, 1932, were eligible to receive awards.[1]Walt Disneycreated a short animated film for the banquet,Parade of the Award Nominees.[2]
Grand Hotelbecame the only Best Picture winner to be nominated for Best Picture and nothing else.[3]It was the first of five films to date to win Best Picture without a Best Director nomination, followed byDriving Miss Daisy,Argo,Green Book,andCODA;and the third of seven to win without a screenwriting nomination.[4]
This was the first of three Oscars in whichtwofilms not nominated for Best Picture received more nominations than the winner (Dr. Jekyll and Mr. HydeandThe Guardsman). This happened again at the25thand79th Academy Awards.
This year saw the introduction of short film awards,[5]withBest Short Subject, CartoonwinnerFlowers and Treesbecoming the first color film to win an Oscar.[6]
There was a tie for Best Actor, a unique event in Academy history.Fredric Marchhad led Wallace Beery in the balloting by only one vote, and the rules (later changed) said that the leader and runner-up could both be considered winners if they were only 3 votes apart.[7]This left the Academy short one Oscar.[7]By winning Best Actor forThe Champ,as well as starring inGrand Hotel,Wallace Beery is the only performer to date to appear in a Best Picture-winning film and win an acting Oscar for a different Best Picture nominee in the same year.
This was the last ceremony to date in which no film won more than two Oscars.
