29th Academy Awards
For the 29th Academy Awards, the Best International Feature Film was introduced as a competitive category, instead of only a Special Achievement Award. The first winner in this new category was Federico Fellini's ''La Strada'' with Anthony Quinn, receiving a further nomination for Best Original Screenplay. This was the first year that all of the five Best Picture nominees were in color, and the first Oscar telecast to be videotaped for later broadcast, for those network affiliates that didn't want to broadcast the event live. All of the Best Picture nominees were large-scale epics: ''The King and I'', George Stevens' ''Giant'', Cecil B. DeMille's ''The Ten Commandments'' (the highest-grossing film of the year), William Wyler's '' Friendly Persuasion'', and the winner, ''Around the World in 80 Days''. The trend toward blockbusters and colorful spectaculars was established for years to come, as ''The Bridge on the River Kwai'', '' Gigi'', and '' Ben-Hur'' followed as Best Pic ...
