==Events==
Same old host, Same old place. The most memorable event of that night was when the host earned homemade Oscar given by the taxi driver who had to sneak backstage to give the "award" to him. Jackie Gleason and Judy Garland were considered the front runners but both were defeated. This is the first year that the director award was shared by two people for the same movie.(West Side Story) Stanley Kramer earned the Irving G Thalberg Award, George Seaton earned the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, and 3 Honorary Oscars were given out. One to Jerome Robbins for choreographic achievements on film, one to William L. Hendriks for his combat short A Force In Readiness, and one to Fred L. Metzler for his service with AMPAS.
