Best Picture was awarded to An American in Paris, which, like A Place in the Sun, received six Academy Awards. A Streetcar Named Desire won four Oscars, including three of the acting awards, excluding Marlon Brando, whose performance as Stanley Kowalski was later considered one of the most influential of modern film acting.

  • Humphrey Bogart was the last man to ever win a leading role Oscar who was born in the 19th century.
  • An American in Paris became only the second color film to win Best Picture. The first one was 12 years earlier: Gone with the Wind.
