Individual evidence
- ↑ The award of the Oscar to Hunter was established in December 1992 by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences canceled because Trumbo, who during the McCarthy era on the blacklist was, was the sole author of the original artwork. The Academy struck Hunter from the award list and on May 10, 1993, posthumously awarded Trumbo's wife a second Oscar to Trumbo, who died in 1976. Previously, Hunter's son, the director Tim Hunter had refused to release the Oscar, which was awarded to his father in 1954. Source: Academy Awards, USA 1954
- ↑ Originally Louis L`Amour was also nominated for Man Call Me Hondo ( Hondo ), but the script was based on the short story L`Amours The Gift of Cochise and was therefore not allowed in this category. After L`Amour informed the Academy about this, the film was taken out of the rating.
