The 2nd Academy Awards were presented on April 3, 1930 at an awards banquet in the Cocoanut Grove of The Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, and broadcast live on the radio. This second ceremony would include a number of changes over the first. Most importantly, this was the first presentation where the winners were not announced in advance. In addition, the number of categories was reduced from twelve to seven.

Note that this is the only Academy Awards ceremony where only winners were announced, not nominees. Therefore, all of the nominees listed here are "unofficial"-- but supported by the Academy of Motion Pictures' awards database as the films being evaluated by the judges.

Both the 2nd and 3rd Academy Awards were held in 1930. This compensation allowed future ceremonies to always be one per year, featuring the movies of the previous calendar year.
