ceremonies were over half of movie- |
land including Director Mike Curtiz, who handed her the coveted gold | _ “Oscar,” crowded into her room to congratulate the beaming star. “It's too wonderful,” she wept, | clutching Van Johnson's hand. Then Miss Crawford blew her nose and started her year's reign as queen of Hollywood by going back to bed.
‘Lost Weekend’ Big Winner
“The Lost Weekend,” a sordid movie about the evils of drink, swept in most of the other “Oscars,”

The program, first formal academy shindig since Pearl Harbor, started off on time—but most of the audience dribbled in late, forcing Mr. Hope to rush things toward the last. But he slowed down long enough to let Jean Hersholt, president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences give him a tiny | “Oscar” all his own. “And about time, too,” declared Mr. Hope. “I've em-ceed so many of these things in Grauman’s Chinese my eyes are slanting.

Peggy Ann Garner won a miniature statuette as the most promising juvenile star. Then George Murphy, of the Screen Actors’ Guild, presented Frank Sinatra a special “Oscar” for his film short, Tne House I Live In.” “Better get your wife to help you carry it home, kid,” grinned Mr. Hope. Eric Johnston, new head man of the movie industry, awarded the “Oscar” for the best picture of the
year after a two-minute speech in!
which he said the movies were “on the . threshold of their greatest achievements.” Singers ‘Plug’ Songs Frank Sinatra, Dick Haymes, Dinah ‘Shore, and Kathryn Grayson plugged the songs nominated for the original song-writing award, with “It Might As Well Be Spring,” by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein emerging as the winner: Then Bette Davis, two-time winner, put- on her horn-rimmed spectacles and passed out “Oscars” to Mr, Brackett and Mr. Wilder for “The Lost Weekend" as the :best written screenplay; Swiss Writer] Richard Schweizer for “Marie-! Louise” play; and Charles G.
