Bette Davis took home the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in Jezebel at the 11th annual ceremony held February 23, 1939. She had been nominated twice before and won the award for her work in Dangerous in 1935. After this, she racked up eight more nominations, but failed to win any of them.
Jezebel took home another prize, Best Supporting Actress for Fay Bainter for her performance.
Jezebel had been nominated for Outstanding Production, Best Scoring for Max Steiner, and Best Cinematography.
Walt Disney was given an Honorary Award "for creating Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,". The Academy gave him one statuette and seven miniature statuettes indicating the seven dwarfs. This is a rare case of a film being recognized in two consecutive years. Snow White had been nominated for Best Score the previous year.
