The 2nd Annual Academy Awards were presented at an awards ceremony held in the Cocoanut Grove lounge of The Ambassador Hotel. They were broadcast live on the radio on April 3, 1930 and covered films released between August 1st, 1928 and July 31st, 1929.
An official list of nominees was not released, but AMPAS researchers were later able to compile a “best guess” nominations list of the films their records indicate were under consideration by the Academy.
Heading into the ceremony, the following film(s) had five or more nominations:
- In Old Arizona: 5
- The Patriot: 5
