The 10th Academy Awards were held on March 10, 1938 at the Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles, California.^[1]

Originally scheduled to be held on March 3, 1938, the ceremony was postponed due to heavy flooding in Los Angeles. The host of the ceremony was Bob Burns.

This was the last year in which the categories of Best Dance Direction and Best Assistant Director were awarded, with the former providing the only nomination ever received by a Marx Brothers film (Dave Gould for the dance number "All God's Children Got Rhythm," in A Day at the Races).

The Life of Emile Zola became the first film to have 10 nominations.

Luise Rainer became the first thespian to receive two Academy Awards with her win for The Good Earth. She also became the first thespian to win back-to-back awards.

A Star is Born was the very first film to be in color to get a Best Picture nomination.
