(CLASSIC MOMENTS): 30 Days of OSCAR-#1 (TIE, Part II)!

"Mr. Demille, I am ready for my Closeup Now"!




Swanson, who won the Globe, lost to Judy Holliday. Billy Wilder won for Best Writing. Here is Wilder winning the Oscar® for Directing 10 years later for "The Apartment" at the 33rd Academy Awards® in 1961. Presented by Gina Lollobrigida and introduced by Bob Hope.



And then Wilder receiving the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award for his outstanding body of work - 60th Annual Academy Awards® in 1988. Presented by Jack Lemmon.



FYI....Swanson never received an OSCAR.
