A souvenir statuette given to the stars of Columbia Pictures on the occasion of the 1935 Academy Awards ceremony. The Columbia Pictures film It Happened One Night (1934) was the first film to “sweep” the Academy Awards, winning for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress and Best Writing, Adaptation. It was also the first time Columbia Pictures won an Academy Award. The film was directed by Frank Capra and starred Claudette Colbert and Clark Gable, both of whom were reluctant to appear in the film. Gable and Colbert each won his and her first, and only, Best Actor/Actress Academy Award for the film. Colbert did not plan to attend the award ceremony and had to be rushed from a train station to pick up her award. At the time, Columbia Pictures was considered a “Poverty Row” studio. This film and its awards help elevate Columbia into being a respected studio. The statuette has two plaques: the first reads “15th Anniversary/ Columbia Pictures/ 1920-1935”; the second reads “Academy of/ Motion Picture Arts and Sciences/ First Award/ Columbia Pictures/ For the Best Picture of the Year.”
