The 14th Academy Awards may be most famous as the year '' Citizen Kane '' did not win Best Picture. John Ford won his third Oscar for Directing Best Picture of the year '' How Green Was My Valley '', the story of Welsh coalminers in changing times. Indeed, Orson Welles was booed when he picked up Kane’s only Oscar for the night, for Original Screenplay.

Most public attention was focused on the Best Actress race between sibling rivals Joan Fontaine in Alfred Hitchcock’s '' Suspicion '' and Olivia De Havilland for '' Hold Back The Dawn ''. Fontaine’s victory was the only time an actor won for a performance in an Alfred Hitchcock film.

This was also the first year when documentaries were included. The first Oscar for a documentary went to '' Churchill’s Island ''.
