The 33rd Academy Awards, honoring the best in film for 1960, were held on April 17, 1961, at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in Santa Monica, California. They were hosted by Bob Hope.

Gary Cooper was too ill to attend the ceremony, so his close friend James Stewart accepted the Honorary Oscar on his behalf. Stewart's emotional speech hinted that something was seriously wrong, and the next day newspapers ran the headline, "Gary Cooper has cancer." One month later, on May 13, 1961, six days after his 60th birthday, Cooper died.

Psycho failed to receive a Best Picture nomination, and this has since considered to be one of the Academy's greatest slights. Sites like msn.com and huffingtonpost.com others have frequently listed it to be one of the best and most classic movies not to win Best Picture, aswell as frequently being listed as one of the best and most influential films ever made, by sites and polls like imdb.com, Rotten Tomatoes,Sight And Sound, Watchmojo.com and Empire, as well as film critics like Roger Ebert.


The Apartment marked the last black and white film to win Best Picture during the era when use of black and white film was still common, as well as the last until 1993 when Schindler's List won.

Despite receiving mixed-to-negative reception and bombing at the box office, The Alamo received several Oscar nominations over better-regarded and prestigious films Psycho, Spartacus, and Swiss Family Robinson. This was largely due to intense lobbying by the film's lead actor, producer, and director John Wayne.[1] The film is thought to have been denied awards because Academy voters were alienated by an overblown publicity campaign by Wayne, particularly one Variety ad claiming that the film's cast was praying harder for Chill Wills to win his award than the defenders of the Alamo prayed for their lives before the battle. The ad, placed by Wills, reportedly angered Wayne, who took out an ad of his own deploring Wills' tastelessness. In response to Wills' ad, claiming that all the voters were his "Alamo Cousins," Groucho Marx took out a small ad which simply said, "Dear Mr. Wills, I am delighted to be your cousin, but I voted for Sal Mineo," (Wills' rival nominee for Exodus).[2]
