The 31st Academy Awards ceremony was held on April 6, 1959, to honor the best films of 1958. The show's producer, Jerry Wald, started cutting numbers from the show to make sure it ran on time. He cut too much material and the ceremony ended 20 minutes early, leaving Jerry Lewis to attempt to fill in the time. Eventually, NBC cut to a re-run of a sports show. The film ''Gigi'' won nine Oscars, breaking the previous record of eight (set by ''Gone with the Wind'' and tied by ''From Here to Eternity'' and ''On the Waterfront''). It would be short-lived, however, as ''Ben-Hur'' broke the record with eleven Oscars the following year. ''Gigi'' was the last film until ''The Last Emperor'' to win Best Picture without any acting nominations. It also had the biggest clean sweep that would be met by ''The Last Emperor'', winning all 9 of its nominations. The record was broken in 2003 by ''The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King'' with all 11 of its nominations, also another record of most Oscar wins with ''Ben-Hur'' and ''Titanic''. The ceremony was hosted by an ensemble of actors: Jerry Lewis, Mort Sahl, Tony Randall, Bob Hope, David Niven, and Laurence Olivier. Niven won Best Actor that night, making him the only host in Oscar history to have won an award during the same ceremony.〔http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/film/film-news/8169266/James-Franco-and-Anne-Hathaway-to-host-Oscars.html〕 ==Awards== Winners are listed first and highlighted with boldface 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「31st Academy Awards」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
