If you've hung around the blog, you know that It Happened One Night is my absolute all-time favourite movie. If I only get to watch one movie for the rest of my life, I'm probably going to pick this one. The story is great. Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert play their parts perfectly. Frank Capra was a masterful director, and It Happened One Night earned all its praise. 

Nominations: Best Picture, Best Director (Frank Capra), Best Actress in a Leading Role (Claudette Colbert), Best Actor in a Leading Role (Clark Gable), Best Adaptation (Robert Riskin, based on the story "Night Bus" by Samuel Hopkins Adams)
