Frank Sinatra winning an Oscar® for "From Here to Eternity"

I would have jumped up and down when I called his name too...I would be counting the steps it took him to get up there and kiss me hahahaha...No wonder she was so excited...

The horses head?? Wow thats good stuff!! Sinatra played an Italian kid from Hoboken and did a great job...He was perfect for the part and that's why he got it..In fact Eli Wallach turned the part down to do Tennessee Williams on Broadway...Get your facts straight you idiot! Puzo was a fictional writer!

lol they only clapped for him

I guess the horse's head thing worked!

What a marvelous speech he gives - humble, witty and gracious. What an Oscar race that was that year in that category.

Such wonderful stuff - thank you so much!~

GOD BLESS YOU FOR THIS

I get chills every single time I hear his name called.

Yes, Ava was up for Best Actress, but she lost to Audrey Hepburn for "Roman Holiday." I think that Ava and Frank were estranged by the time he won his Oscar, which is ironic because she helped to get him the part, re-energizing his career.

When did they stop mentioning the movie studios names along with the nominees? I think it's kinda cool.
