Here is Miss Rogers, entering the Biltmore with her mother, Lela Rogers. I especially love these pictures because Ginger looks so genuinely happy. She hasn't even won yet and still has a great big smile on her face. :)
She was so pretty!
Now that everyone has arrived, it's time to hand out the awards. The Best supporting actor and actress awards were given to walter Brennan and Jane Darwell, and Alfred Hitchcock's Rebecca was just announced as best Piture. Now it's time for the big awards, Best Actor & Best Actress.
She looks anxious and nervous while waiting to recieve her award.
Ginger giving her acceptence speech. I always love hearing this because in her autobiography, Ginger said she couldn't remember what she had said in her speech.
Back at the table, Ginger shares her excitement with her mother and Kitty Foyle producer David Hempsted.
And the Best actor of 1940 is.... James Stewart for The Philadelphia Story!
Jimmy's speech!
Everyone at Ginger's table is happy for Jimmy! Especially Ginger.
Jimmy listens as Ginger tells him congratulations all the way from her table.
Hurry! Let's catch the winner's after the ceremony before they leave!
Bob Hope snuck into this one, but Jimmy & Ginger were in too good of moods to mind.
Mr. Stewart & Ms. Rogers were kind enough to pose for one last photo before heading over to Chasen's to celebrate.
