The top awards portion of the ceremony was hosted by Jack Benny. The Best Years of Our Lives won seven of its eight nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, and both male acting Oscars. The academy awarded Harold Russell—a World War II veteran who had lost both hands in the war—an Honorary Academy Award for "bringing hope and courage to his fellow veterans" for his role as Homer Parrish, believing that, as a non-actor, he would not win the Best Supporting Actor award for which he was nominated. Russell also won the competitive award, making him the only person in Academy history to receive two Oscars for the same performance. When Olivia de Havilland won the Best Actress Oscar, her sister, Joan Fontaine, attempted to shake her hand, but she refused the handshake, saying "I don't know why she does that when she knows how I feel."Wallechinsky David Wallace Irving 1975 The People's Almanac https://archive.org/details/peoplesalmanac00wall/page/836/mode/2up Garden City, New York Doubleday & Company, Inc. 837 0-385-04060-1 This was the first time since the 2nd Academy Awards that every category had, at most, five nominations.
