On April 9, 1962, "West Side Story" received 10 Academy Awards for the year 1961 in 11 nominations, making it the first film musical to win Oscars in double digits. The film won in the categories of Best Picture (Robert Wise, producer), Best Director (Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins), Best Supporting Actor (George Chakiris), Best Supporting Actress (Rita Moreno), Best Cinematography, Best Color Art Direction-Set Decoration, Best Costume Design, Best Film Editing, Best Original Score and Best Sound.

The only award the movie failed to win was Best Adapted Screenplay. That honor went to Abby Mann for "Judgment at Nuremberg."
