7.Hugo Friedhofer’s 1946 Best Music Oscar for “The Best Years of Our Lives” – Price:$187,511
This movie swept the Oscar ceremony at the time!
The movie “The Best Years of Our Lives” told the story of three World War II veterans that return home in America and find out that their families were completely changed and there was nothing they could do about it.
The movie was a real success that ruled the 1946 Oscar Ceremony Awards and earned no less than seven Oscar awards that night!
But the one that interests us is the Best Music Oscar for “The Best Years of Our Lives” that went to Hugo Friedhofer and was later auctioned for $187,511.
Apparently 9th time’s a charm because that was his ninth nomination in the music category!
