Notes
- ↑ Alec Guinness was not present at the award ceremony; the actress Gene Simmons accepted the award on his behalf.
- ↑ NOTE: Though Pierre Boulle received official screen credit, it was commonly known that blacklisted writers, Michael Wilson and Carl Foreman, wrote the screenplay based on Mr. Boulle's novel (translated from the French). The Board of Governors, on December 11, 1984, voted posthumous Oscars to Wilson and Foreman and Academy records have been updated ..
