The 8th Academy Awards were held on March 5, 1936 at the Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles, California. They were hosted by Frank Capra. This was the first year in which the gold statuettes were called "Oscars."

The short-lived category of Best Dance Direction was introduced this year. The DGA successfully lobbied for its elimination three years later.

Mutiny on the Bounty became the last film to win best picture and nothing else.

This was the 2nd and last year that write in's were allowed at the Oscars. A Midsummer Night's Dream became the only film to have ever won a write in Oscar. It won Best Cinematography.
