‘All About Eve’ won the Best Picture category in the Academy Awards of 1950. The 23rd Annual Academy Awards took place on March 29th, 1951 during a tense political climate.
‘All About Eve’ was the first most-nominated film with 14 bids in Oscar history. It won six Oscars – Best Picture, Best Director and Best Screenplay, both for director Joseph L. Mankiewicz, Best Supporting Actor, Best Costume Design and Best Sound Recording.
While targeting New York theatre life, the film chronicled the intermingling lives of an aging Broadway stage actress, a cynical drama critic, a young director, a playwright, a pretty but untalented actress, portrayed by Marilyn Monroe, and an aspiring and talented young actress named Eve.
‘All About Eve’ is the only film in Oscar history to receive four female acting nominations. It was selected in 1990 for preservation in the US National Film Registry.
