Best Picture: GRAND HOTEL – Metro Goldwyn Mayer
Best Director: Frank Borzage for BAD GIRL – Fox
Best Actor: Fredric March for DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE – Paramount
Best Actor: Wallace Beery for THE CHAMP – Metro Goldwyn Mayer
Best Actress: Helen Hayes for THE SIN OF MADELON CLAUDET – Metro Goldwyn Mayer
Best Supporting Actor: None
Best Supporting Actress: None
Highest grossing film: THE SIGN OF THE CROSS – Paramount
Note re: Frank Borzage's win for Best Director...BAD GIRL was released in September 1931.
Note re: Helen Hayes’ win for Best Actress…THE SIN OF MADELON CLAUDET was released in October 1931.
Note re: Fredric March’s win for Best Actor…DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE was released in December 1931.
Note: Wallace Beery’s win for Best Actor…THE CHAMP was released in November 1931.
Also note: Fredric March received one more vote than Wallace Beery, but the Academy considered it close enough for a tie, and both were awarded for their performances. However, that policy changed, and now the rules state that awards for more than one winner in a category have to be exact ties.
The qualifying period was for films released between August 1, 1931 and July 31, 1932. |

Another outstanding precode year.
Just running down the list, I'd give the nod to MGM, but that's not really fair as I've seen less than half of all the titles listed (and I've been watching precodes for decades now).
RKO's "Age of Consent" will be one of our Sunday Live! Don't be so Melodramatic movies for the month of August.
I plan to use many of these titles for future Sunday Live! viewing with "The Rich are Always With Us" being near the top of the list.

Blonde Venus and Shanghai Express, both from Paramount in the same year, two of my favorites from this era. And it's fun seeing Tarzan, knowing what a cash cow the series would be for MGM in the coming years. And The Mummy at Universal, which was in for an incredible run of creature features. It's kind of an odd feeling knowing what we know from our modern perspective, because to them it was all a crap shoot with no guarantees.
