3rd Academy Awards
AWARD CEREMONY PRESENTED BY THE ACADEMY OF MOTION PICTURE ARTS & SCIENCES FOR ACHIEVEMENT IN FILMMAKING IN 1929 AND 1930
3rd Academy Awards nominees and winners
The 3rd Academy Awards were held on November 5, 1930 by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), awarding films released between August 1, 1929 and July 31, 1930. AMPAS decided to hold the awards in November to move them closer to the eligibility period; therefore, the ceremony took place only seven months after the 2nd Academy Awards, making 1930 the only year in which two Academy Awards ceremonies were held.
