1.1933 Best Picture Oscar for “Cavalcade” – Price: $332,165
This Oscar will most definitely be remembered forever by many!
The 1933 production, “Cavalcade” was an interpretation of a play by Noel Cowards that tells the story of the English life between New Year’s Eve 1899 and 1933 through the eyes of Londoners Jane and Robert Marryott.
The movie was awarded with the Best Picture Oscar and it was Fox Studio‘s first Oscar Statuette! You can imagine this was a major event in the life of the movie company.
And this Oscar will also be reminded because of another funnier reason. At the Oscar Awards that year, the presenter Will Rogers when announcing the award he simply said “Come and get it, Frank!”. Yes, we know now instantly that he meant the director of “Cavalcade”, Frank Lloyd, but back then, the nominee Frank Capra went happily up on the stage thinking he had won the award.
Ouch, that must have hurt!
