"It Happened One Night" wins 5 Oscars 1935



Considered one of the best movies ever made, It Happened One Night, became the first movie to win the top five awards at the 7th annual ceremony held February 27, 1935.  It won: Best Picture, Best Director for Frank Capra, Best Actor for Clark Gable, Best Actress for Claudette Colbert, and Best Adaption for Robert Riskin. It won all the categories in which it was nominated.  

One Night of Love received 6 nominations, the most for any movie that evening, but only came away with two, including the Academy's first Award for Best Original Score.  It also won for Best Sound Recording,

Apparently the awards for Best Supporting Actor and Actress were not given out at this time.  Bette Davis was nominated for one of her many.
