  • What does Mr. Capra say at the second Oscar? "... goes to talented"...

  • Fred Niblo, the man awarding Capra the oscar for "You Can't take it with you" was the director of the silent epic "Ben Hur" in 1925

  • Capra was the best.

  • Thanks Thanks Thanks for this AFI!!!

  • First director to win three Academy Awards for directing, followed by John Ford and William Wyler. Ford would win a fourth directing Oscar in 1952.
