The 21st Academy Awards features numerous firsts. It was the first time a non-Hollywood production won Best Picture, "Hamlet". It was the first time an individual (Laurence Olivier) directed himself in an Oscar-winning performance. Director John Huston directs two Oscar-winning performances in the same year for two different films, Walter Huston in "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" and Claire Trevor for "Key Largo".

Jane Wyman was the first actor since the silent era to win an Oscar for a performance featuring no lines.

Humphrey Bogart failed to receive a nomination for Best Actor in "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre", which at the time was considered one of the Academy’s greatest slights.
