The 11th Academy Awards unfolded on February 23, 1939, hosted at the Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles, California. A distinctive feature of this year’s ceremony was the lack of a formal host. Movies released in 1938 were eligible for these honors.
Frank Capra, John Ford, William Wyler, and Sam Wood - all great directors for Oscar-nominated films, couldn't overcome the almost-total sweep of Gone With The Wind. Best Director winner Victor Fleming also directed another Best Picture nominee in 1939, The Wizard of Oz.
