The 34th Annual Academy Awards
The 34th Academy Awards, honoring the best in film for 1961, were held on April 9, 1962, hosted by Bob Hope at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in Santa Monica, California. Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins became the first Best Director co-winners for West Side Story. The film won 10 of its 11 nominations, including Best Picture and both supporting acting Oscars, becoming the most successful musical in Oscars history. Legendary filmmaker Federico Fellini received his first Best Director nomination for La Dolce Vita, while fellow Italian Sophia Loren became the second performer to win an Oscar for a non-English-language role, after Jane Wyman's American Sign Language performance in Johnny Belinda (1948). The most memorable event of the night came when Stan Berman, a New York City cabdriver famous for crashing celebrity parties, evaded security and made his way onstage to award Hope a homemade Oscar.
