The 15th Academy Awards was held in the Cocoanut Grove at The Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles on March 4, 1943, honoring the films of 1942.[1] The ceremony is most famous for the speech by Greer Garson; accepting the award for Best Actress, Garson spoke for nearly six minutes, considered to be the longest Oscars acceptance speech.[2][3] A portion of the ceremony was broadcast by CBS Radio.[4]
Mrs. Miniver was the second film (after My Man Godfrey in 1936) to receive nominations in all four acting categories, as well as the first film to receive five acting nominations; it won six of its twelve nominations, including Best Picture and William Wyler's first of three Best Director awards.[1][5][6][7]
Irving Berlin presented the Academy Award for Best Original Song, which he ended up winning himself for "White Christmas".[8] There was also a four-way tie for Best Documentary Feature, a unique occurrence.[9]
