The 8th Academy Awards (1936)

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

“Mutiny on the Bounty”
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer

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.
