As is the custom, the auditing firm which counted the ballots this year, as in the past, did not give out the results of the runner-ups in the most important balloting divisions.

Nine other pictures besides "Gone With the WInd" were nominated. These included "Goodbye, Mr. Chips," "Love Affair," "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington," "Ninotchka," "Of Mice and Men," "Stagecoach," "Wizard of Oz" and "Wuthering Heights."

In the best acting performances, Robert Donat vied with Clark Gable for "Gone With the WInd," Laurence Olivier, "Wuthering Heights," Mickey Rooney, "Babes in Arms," and James Stewart, "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington."

Scarlett O'Hara

Vivien Leigh, who came to Hollywood by chance and won the role of Scarlett O'Hara in "Gone With the WInd," won from such a formidable array as Bette Davis, nominated for "Dark Victory," and a two-time Academy Award winner; Irene Dunne, for "Love Affair"; Greta Garbo, for "Ninotchka"; and Greer Garson, for "Goodbye, Mr. Chips."

Thomas Mitchell took the winning supporter actor honors away from Brian Aherne for "Juarez"; Harry Carey, "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington"; Brian Donlevy, "Beau Geste"; and Claude Rains, "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington."

Hattie McDaniel, for "Gone With the Wind," won over Olivia deHavilland in the same picture; Geraldine Fitzgerald, "Wuthering Heights"; Edna May Oliver, "Drums Along the Mohawk"; and Maria Ouspenskaya, "Love Affair."

Victor Fleming Victor

Victor Fleming, for direction of "Gone With the Wind," was victorious over Sam Wood, "Goodbye Mr. Chips"; Frank Capra, "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington"; John Ford, "Stagecoach"; and William Wyler, "Wuthering Heights."
