Abstract

1992 Jack Palance Best Actor in a Supporting Role, "City Slickers" At the age of 73, Palance proved he hadn't let his fitness fade in the nearly 40 years since he'd last been nominated for an Oscar. 1940 Hattie McDaniel Best Actress in a Supporting Role, "Gone With the Wind" Though nominated for her role as Mammy in this 1939 best picture winner, McDaniel was forced to sit at a segregated table away from her costars. THE ACADEMY AWARD ACCEPTANCE SPEECH HAS EVOLVED - and more than doubled in length - since the first ceremony was held nearly a century ago. [Extracted from the article]
