1941
26 febbraio 1942 Biltmore Bowl, Biltmore Hotel
presenta Wendell Willkie (principal speaker)

Commento

Siamo in guerra e naturalmente anche l’Oscar si adegua, è diventata presidente dell’Academy Bette Davis, che vuole serietà sia nella premiazione che nella cerimonia, ma vorrebbe anche aprire le porte della festa a tutti e ricavare denaro per gli alleati al fronte a combattere, ma non riesce a imporsi quanto basta per far valere questa ultima idea.
È il 26 febbraio 1942 e il Biltimore Hotel non è in festa non ci sono addobbi, né sfarzi per rispetto di coloro che sono in guerra. Ben altra guerra è quella che si combatte per l’assegnazione dei premi, la sfida è: tra “Quarto potere” (boicottato) di Orson Welles, non presente in sala, e “Il sergente York” (campione d’incassi di quell’anno) e tra le due sorelle Olivia de Havilland e Joan Fontane. Naturalmente a prendere il secondo premio consecutivo per miglior regia non ci sarà Ford, ma il produttore Zanuck, mentre James Stewart premierà Donald Crisp entrambi in uniformi.
Nuovo Oscar per un Walt Disney non in un momento favorevole, “Fantasia” è un flop e il suo creatore è il primo ad ammetterlo.
