Will Rogers created some embarrassing confusion when presenting the award for Best Picture. When he opened the envelope, he said "Come on up and get it, Frank!". Frank Capra leapt from his seat, thinking he had won for Lady for a Day. When he arrived at the podium, he realized that Rogers had meant Cavalcade producer Frank Lloyd. Embarrassed, Capra told the press that he would not attend another Academy Awards ceremony, yet he attended the following year and did receive the award for It Happened One Night.
During Walt Disney's acceptance speech, he became the first winner to publicly acknowledge the statuette as "Oscar" even though the name wasn't officially adopted until 1939.
New Categories: Best Original Song, Best Original Score and Best Film Editing. All of these categories are still in use today.
Of the four films for which she won the Oscar, Morning Glory was the only one in which Hepburn did not play someone's wife.
This was Katharine Hepburn's first academy award but Morning Glory was only her third film.
Best Picture winner Cavalcade was the first British production to win the award.
The 1932-33 season was the longest period in academy history - seventeen months.
