1931 Academy Awards. 1931 Academy Awards may refer to: 4th Academy Awards, the Academy Awards ceremony that took place November 10, 1931 honoring films released between August 1, 1930, and July 31, 1931.
The 4th Academy Awards were held on November 10, 1931 by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, awarding films released between August 1, 1930, and July 31, 1931. Cimarron was the first Western to win Best Picture, and would remain the only to do so until Dances with Wolves won in 1990.
AMPAS decided to hold the awards in November to move them closer to the eligibility period; therefore, the ceremony took place only seven months after the 2nd Academy Awards, making 1930 the only year in which two Academy Awards ceremonies were held.
in the second and third years of the Academy Awards (1928/29 and 1929/30), there was only a single writing award: Writing Achievement, with no distinction between original works and adaptations. Only the titles of the nominated films were announced.
And it is only one of a few films that was named Best Picture, but failed to win any other awards. [The other two films that won the Best Picture award without winning any other awards were Broadway Melody (1928/29) and Mutiny on the Bounty (1935).]
