Ben Hur Sweeps
Academy Awards
Hollywood, Apr. B Iff) — The
most expensive motion picture
ever made — Ben Hur — has
been named the best motion
picture of 1969 by the Aca-
demy of Motion Picture Arts
aild Sciences.
And the star of the Oscar-
winning picture, Charlton Hes-
ton, won an Oscar as the best
actor of ’59 for hist role as the
chariot-racing Christian in Ben
Hur.
Simone Signoret, the plump,
love-starved wife of the pic-
ture Room at The Top was
named the best actress of 1959.
Ben Hur went on to win
more Oscar awards than any
other film in Academy history
—eleven altogether.
The best supporting players
of ’59 — as named at the 32nd
annual award party in Holly-
wood — were Shelly Winters
and Hugh Griffith. Miss Wint-
ers won her Oscar for her role
as a warmly ' h u m a n Jewish
housewife in the picture the
Diary of Anne Frank. Griffith
got his award for his portrayal
of the spade - bearded horse
trader in Ben Hur.
William Wyler, the veteran
director, won his 3rd Oscar for
Ben Hur as the magnificent
evening for the chariot epic
continued.
All the award winners won
hearty applause as they receiv-
ed their awards at the Pan-
tages Theater.
Heston was cheered not only
as a winner, but one who got
the award the first time he was
nominated. The 35 - year - old
actor is a native of Evanston,
111.
Miss Signoret, who frankly
admits to being a 39-year-old
Parisian, was overwhelmed. Be-
ing French, she said, no one
could imagine what winning
meant to her.
She also won on her first
nomination in an English-made
film. Miss Signoret never has
appeared in an American-made
film.
Miss Winters — the former
Shirley Shrift of St. Louis —
couldn’t.contain her joy at win-
ning the big prize, .and wept

copiously back-stage. She said
she had no idea she could win.
Said Miss Winters:
”1 tried on five dresses to-
day. I was so nervous I didn’t
know what to wear. I didn't
know whether to be sexy or
dignified.”
Griffith was the only major
winner not present for the na-
tional telecast. The 47-year-old
Welshman was in England and
his award was accepted by di-
rector Wyler.
Old pro Wyler previously
had won for Mrs. Minniver, in
1942, and the Best Years of
Our Lives, in 1946.
Sad Note Sounded
A sad note in the Ben Hur
victory was the absence of pro-
ducer Sftm Zimbalist, who died
after the film was made. The
best picture award was accept-
ed by his widow.
Heston hailed Zimbalist as
the man “who gave more than
any of us.”
Ben Hur performed the
amazing feat of winning in all
but one of the categories in
which it was nominated. That
one is significant — writing.
Over protests of Wyler, the
Writers Guild of America gave
sole writing credit to Karl
Tunberg, though Christopher
Fry, Gore Vidal and S. N. Behr-
man and others also helped on
the script.
Heston pointedly acknowl-
edged only Fry among the writ-
ers in his acceptance speech.
Best song of the year was
High Hopes, from a Hole in
The Head. Its writers, James
Van Heusen and Sammy Gahn,
gave the most appreciated ac
ceptance speech of the night:
“Thank,” and “You.”
Black Orpheus, the bongo-
beat product of France’s new
wave of bright young filmmak-
ers, was named best foreign
language film. It was a lively
treatment of life among the
Negro peasants of Rio De
Janerio at carnival time.
Hope Win* Award
Writing awards went to Neil
Paterson’s adaptation of Room
at the Top, and The Pillow Talk
for the best original story for
the screen. Story was by Rus-
sell Rouse and Clarence Greene,
screenplay by Stanley Shapiro
and Maurice Richlinl
Closest to Ben Hur in the
runaway race was the Diary of
Anne Frank, which won three
awards.
‘ No one got greater applause
than Bob Hope, who finally got
an award after all these years
of complaining about it. He
won the Jean Hersholt award
for humanitarian service. The
comic seemed genuinely touch-
ed, and cracked:
“I don’t know what to say. I

As emcee, Hope was as sly!
