1941 - The 13th Academy Awards marks the first time that the results are kept in sealed envelopes, to prevent the Press from spoiling the surprise. The Oscar for Best Picture goes to Rebecca - the only time a film by Alfred Hitchcock would win an Oscar.

It's the first time that films opening over a period of an entire year are covered (previously, the release dates fell from mid-year to mid-year).
