Best Picture: Rebecca

Best Director: Alfred Hitchcock, Rebecca

Best Actor: Lawrence Olivier, Rebecca

Best Actress: Joan Fontaine, Rebecca

Best Supporting Actor: Jack Oakie, The Great Dictator

Best Supporting Actress: Judith Anderson, Rebecca

If anyone had seen Rebecca, I would think it would be crystal clear that both Joan Fontaine and Judith Anderson gave two of the greatest performances of all time. Not to mention, this is arguably Hitchcock's best movie along with Psycho and Vertigo.
