The 30th Annual Academy Awards
The 30th Annual Academy AAs in the previous year, the blacklisting of certain writers led to anomalies in the writing awards. The Academy Award for Best Screenplay Based on Material from Another Medium was awarded to Pierre Boulle for The Bridge on the River Kwai, despite the fact that he did not speak English, because the actual writers, Carl Foreman and Michael Wilson, were blacklisted at the time and had not received screen credit. Foreman and Wilson have since been acknowledged by the Academy as the true recipients of the award, though Boulle remains listed as an official winner. Peyton Place tied the record for the most nominations without a win (9) set by The Little Foxes (1941). This record would stand until 1977 when The Turning Point received 11 nominations without a win, which is the record to date (The Color Purple tied the record in 1985). Peyton Place also set the record for most unsuccessful acting nominations, with five; this record has been tied once, by Tom Jones at the 36th Academy Awards. This was the first time all five Best Picture nominations were nominated for Best Director. As of the 94th Academy Awards, Designing Woman is the last film to win Best Original Screenplay when nominated solely in that category.wards were broadcast on NBC and hosted by Bob Hope, Rosalind Russell, David Niven, James Stewart, Jack Lemmon and Donald Duck (voiced by Clarence Nash).
