The 11th Annual Academy Awards were held on February 23, 1939 at the Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles, California. It was the first Academy Awards show without any official host, as well as the first to have a foreign language film (Jean Renoir's The Grand Illusion) nominated for Best Picture.
This was the first of only two times in Oscar history that 3 of the 4 acting wins were by repeat winners; only Fay Bainter was a first timer. The only other time this happened was in 1994. In addition, Spencer Tracy became the first of only two lead actors to win two years in a row; the other one, Tom Hanks, also did so in 1994.
