Typed manuscript, one onionskin page, 8.5 x 11, signed at the conclusion in blue ballpoint. Cukor expresses his opinion on the Academy Awards. In part: “The great, the unique thing about the Academy Award is that it’s on the level—absolutely on the level. I’ve been around a long time, and never in my experience has anyone offered me a bribe, or tried in any way to influence me in how I voted. Even friendship doesn’t count for much. You may think in advance that you will vote for a good pal, but when the chips are down, and you are alone with your god and your ballot, you find yourself voting for what you really think…It is good for the soul—if not very pleasant—to sit there with your nomination and be turned down in front of a hundred million people. But when you do get it, it is a glory. Mine seemed to be an inordinately long time coming, but when at last I got it, it meant more to me than any other award I have ever received.” A significant tear to the upper left, otherwise fine condition. Throughout Cukor’s prolific career, he was nominated for the Best Director award four times—between 1934 and 1951—before finally winning on his fifth and final nomination in 1965, for My Fair Lady. A fantastic look at the Academy Awards from the perspective of the great director.
