The 32nd Academy Awards honored film achievements of 1959 on 4 April 1960. MGM's (producer Sam Zimbalist) and director William Wyler's three-and-a-half-hour-long epic drama ''Ben-Hur'' (with a spectacular sea battle and eleven-minute chariot race choreographed by Yakima Canutt) won 11 Oscars in 1959, breaking the previous year's all-time record of nine (''Gigi'' (1958)). With its record-breaking eleven Oscar wins out of twelve nominations, it was the most honored motion picture in Academy Award history until ''Titanic'' and ''The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King'' both equaled the feat in 1997 and 2003, respectively. ''Ben-Hur'' was a re-make of MGM's own 1926 silent film of the same name, and it was the most expensive film of its time, budgeted at $15 million. Both films were based on or inspired by General Lew Wallace's novel (first published in 1880) about the rise of Christianity. ''Ben-Hur'' was also the third film to win both Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor, a feat not repeated until ''Mystic River'' in 2004. Wyler became the third and, to date, last person to win more than two Best Director awards (following Frank Capra and John Ford), as well as the first (and, to date, only) person to direct three Best Picture winners. ==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「32nd Academy Awards」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
