Oscars 1962: Winners and Nominees of the 34th Academy Awards

Public list by WPS with 55 movies or TV shows/series

These movies have won or been nominated for the Oscars 1962 on 04/09/1962.

The 34th Academy Awards, honoring the best in film for 1961, were held on April 9, 1962, hosted by Bob Hope at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in Santa Monica, California. Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins became the first Best Director co-winners for West Side Story. The film won 10 of its 11 nominations, including Best Picture and both supporting acting Oscars, becoming the most successful musical in Oscars history. Legendary filmmaker Federico Fellini received his first Best Director nomination for La Dolce Vita, while fellow Italian Sophia Loren became the second performer to win an Oscar for a non-English-language role, after Jane Wyman's American Sign Language performance in Johnny Belinda (1948), and the first to win a regular Oscar for a film made entirely in a language other than English. Directors Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins became the first pair to share an Oscar for the same film. George C. Scott became the first actor to refuse an award in advance, insisting that the Best Supporting Actor nomination for his performance in The Hustler be revoked. It was not, and he lost. The most memorable event of the night came when Stan Berman, a New York City cabdriver famous for crashing celebrity parties, evaded security and made his way onstage to award Hope a homemade Oscar.
