‘Hattie’s Come Home’: Pioneering ‘Gone With the Wind’ Winner Saluted with Replacement Oscar Presentation at Howard University
02.10.2023 - 15:47 / variety.com
Paul Harris WASHINGTON, D.C. — It was the first Oscar ever awarded to a Black actor: The plaque presented to actress Hattie McDaniel in 1940 for her iconic supporting role in the landmark 1939 film “Gone With the Wind.” Following McDaniel’s death in 1952, the award was bequeathed to D.C.’s Howard University, where it was a prized possession — until it mysteriously disappeared a decade later. But at last, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences presented a replacement plaque on Oct.
1 to Howard University’s Chadwick A. Boseman College of Fine Arts. The ceremony billed as “Hattie’s Come Home” was a moving tribute to the artist’s life and legacy.
Participants included Jacqueline Stewart, president of the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, and Teni Melidonian, executive VP of Oscars strategy at AMPAS. Actor Phylicia Rashad, outgoing dean of the Boseman College of Fine Arts, opened the evening with a personal reflection of her own experience as a Howard undergrad and aspiring artist. She said she was personally inspired by viewing the award in its case, and is now overjoyed that it is finally back for new generations.
The program included clips of McDaniel’s performances in “Gone With the Wind” and several other films, along with her acceptance speech at the 1940 Academy Awards ceremony, where she and a guest were forced to sit at a segregated table. Also emphasized were the daily struggles of the multitalented entertainer who appeared in more than 300 films (many of her roles were uncredited). She was believed to have been the first Black woman to sing on radio.
