The '''33rd Academy Awards''', honoring the [[1960 in film|best in film for 1960]], were held on April 17, 1961 at the [[Santa Monica Civic Auditorium]] in [[Santa Monica, California]]. They were hosted by [[Bob Hope]].


The '''33rd Academy Awards''', honoring the [[1960 in film|best in film for 1960]], were held on April 17, 1961, hosted by [[Bob Hope]] at the [[Santa Monica Civic Auditorium]] in [[Santa Monica, California]]. This was the first ceremony to be aired on [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC television]], which has aired the Academy Awards ever since (except between 1971 and 1975, when they were aired on [[National Broadcasting Company|NBC]] for the first time since [[32nd Academy Awards|the previous year]]).<ref name="Oscars '60 Notes">
''[[The Apartment]]'' marked the last black and white film to win Best Picture during the era when use of black and white film was still common, as well as the last until 1993 when ''[[Schindler's List]]'' won.
{{cite book |last1=Wallechinsky |first1=David |last2=Wallace |first2=Irving |date=1975 |title=The People's Almanac |url=https://archive.org/details/peoplesalmanac00wall/page/842/mode/2up |location=Garden City, New York |publisher=Doubleday & Company, Inc. |page=843 |isbn=0-385-04060-1}}</ref>


[[Billy Wilder]]'s ''[[The Apartment]]'' won Best Picture, the last black-and-white film to do so until ''[[Schindler's List]]'' and ''[[The Artist (film)|The Artist]]'' at the [[66th Academy Awards|66th]] and [[84th Academy Awards]], respectively.
Gary Cooper was too ill to attend the ceremony, so his close friend [[James Stewart]] accepted the Honorary Oscar on his behalf. Stewart's emotional speech hinted that something was seriously wrong, and the next day newspapers ran the headline, "Gary Cooper has cancer." One month later, on May 13, 1961, six days after his 60th birthday, Cooper died.


[[Elizabeth Taylor]], who had a near-fatal bout with pneumonia a short time before the ceremony, was viewed as having received her Oscar out of sympathy rather than for her performance in ''[[Butterfield 8]]''.<ref name="Oscars '60 Notes"/>
==Awards==

Winners are listed first and highlighted with '''boldface'''<ref name="Oscars1961">{{Cite web|url=http://www.oscars.org/awards/academyawards/legacy/ceremony/33rd-winners.html |title=The 33rd Academy Awards (1961) Nominees and Winners |accessdate=2011-08-22|work=oscars.org}}</ref>
[[Gary Cooper]] was selected by the Academy Board of Governors to receive an [[Academy Honorary Award]] "for his many memorable screen performances and the international recognition he, as an individual, has gained for the motion picture industry". Cooper was too ill to attend the ceremony, though his condition was not publicly disclosed; [[James Stewart]], a close friend of Cooper, accepted the Oscar on his behalf. Stewart's emotional speech hinted that something was seriously wrong, and the following day newspapers ran the headline, "Gary Cooper has cancer". Cooper died less than four weeks later.

Rising star [[Hayley Mills]] was selected by the Academy Board of Governors as the year's recipient of the [[Academy Juvenile Award]] for her breakthrough and acclaimed performance in [[Walt Disney]]'s ''[[Pollyanna (1960 film)|Pollyanna]]''. She was the last recipient of the award; going forward, juvenile actors could officially compete in competitive categories. This was the first year a [[red carpet]] lined the walk into the theater.<ref>{{Cite news |author=Daniel Miller |date=February 24, 2017 |url=https://www.latimes.com/business/hollywood/la-fi-ct-oscars-red-carpet-20170224-htmlstory.html|title=The red carpet isn't actually red, and other secrets underfoot at the Oscars|work=Los Angeles Times|access-date=2018-04-18}}</ref>

The 33rd Academy Awards, honoring the best in film for 1960, were held on April 17, 1961, hosted by Bob Hope at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in Santa Monica, California. This was the first ceremony to be aired on ABC television, which has aired the Academy Awards ever since (except between 1971 and 1975, when they were aired on NBC for the first time since the previous year).[1]

Billy Wilder's The Apartment won Best Picture, the last black-and-white film to do so until Schindler's List and The Artist at the 66th and 84th Academy Awards, respectively.

Elizabeth Taylor, who had a near-fatal bout with pneumonia a short time before the ceremony, was viewed as having received her Oscar out of sympathy rather than for her performance in Butterfield 8.[1]

Gary Cooper was selected by the Academy Board of Governors to receive an Academy Honorary Award "for his many memorable screen performances and the international recognition he, as an individual, has gained for the motion picture industry". Cooper was too ill to attend the ceremony, though his condition was not publicly disclosed; James Stewart, a close friend of Cooper, accepted the Oscar on his behalf. Stewart's emotional speech hinted that something was seriously wrong, and the following day newspapers ran the headline, "Gary Cooper has cancer". Cooper died less than four weeks later.

Rising star Hayley Mills was selected by the Academy Board of Governors as the year's recipient of the Academy Juvenile Award for her breakthrough and acclaimed performance in Walt Disney's Pollyanna. She was the last recipient of the award; going forward, juvenile actors could officially compete in competitive categories. This was the first year a red carpet lined the walk into the theater.[2]
