The 8th Academy Awards (1936)

8 is my favorite number. As if you couldn't tell.

Held at the Biltmore Bowl of the Biltmore Hotel on Thursday, March 5, 1936, honoring movies released in 1935.

Best Picture

“Mutiny on the Bounty”
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer





Best Actress Bette Davis (“Dangerous”)






Best Director John Ford and Victor McLaglen during filming of “The Informer.”



A pretty good review is given by Self-Styled Siren in 2007.

Hal Mohr became the first, and only, write-in Oscar winner with his win for Best Cinematography for "A Midsummer Night’s Dream." This was the last year that write-in votes were allowed for any category.
