11. dodjela Oskara

13. dodjela Oskara

12. dodjela Oscara je održana 29. februara 1940. na svečanom banketu u dvorani Cocoanut Grove u Hotelu Ambassador u Los Angelesu. Na njoj je losanđeleska Akademija odala priznanje najboljim filmskim ostvarenjima premijerno prikazanim u periodu od 1. januara do 31. decembra 1939. godine. Nju je vodio komičar Bob Hope, a što je bilo prvi od devetnaest puta kada će mu biti ukazana ista čast.

Tradicionalno se, zbog kvantitete i kvalitete produkcije Hollywooda u prethodnoj godini smatra dodjelom na kojoj je bila jedna od najjačih konkurencija, ali je izuzetan komercijalni uspjeh, kao i povoljne kritike epske melodrame Gone with the Wind, ishod učinio predvidljivim. Film u produkciji Davida O. Selznicka je tako osvojio Oscar za najbolji film, kao i još devet nagrada, a bio je nominiran za njih trinaest. Dio historičara vjeruje da je Mr. Smith Goes to Washington ostao bez nagrada zahvaljujući političkim kontroverzama, dijelom zbog pritiska američkih senatora kojima se nije svidio tretman Senata u filmu, a dijelom zbog brige da bi film američku demokraciju mogao difamirati u inozemstvu u delikatnim trenucima nakon izbijanja drugog svjetskog rata.

Na 12. dodjeli je prvi put dodjeljivan Oscar za najbolje vizualne efekte, a također je po prvi put Oscar za najbolju fotografiju razdvojen u dvije nove kategorije - Oscar za najbolju crno-bijelu fotografiju i Oscar za najbolju fotografiju u boji.

Smatra se značajnom i za historiju međurasnih odnosa u SAD, s obzirom da je Hattie McDaniel zahvaljujući sporednoj ulozi u Gone with the Wind postala prva afroamerička ličnost koja je osvojila Oscara.

Samu ceremoniju je obilježilo i to da je Los Angeles Times neposredno pred nju "provalio" rezultate glasanja; iako se kasnije ispostavilo da oni nisu bili potpuno točni (a također se tvrdilo da je Robert Donat "za dlaku" pobijedio Jamesa Stewarta, a Leigh isto tako za "dlaku" pobijedila Bette Davis), veliki dio učesnika ceremonije - kao što su Clark Gable i Bette Davis - su unaprijed znali da će ostati kratkih rukava.
