Notes from the Members of the Board:
In a surprising turn of events, the Members of the Board agreed with the Academy in quite a few categories in 1958, more than any year so far in Rag history. Best Picture, Director, Actress, Screenplay, and Song all remained. Supporting Actress was a different lady from the same movie, and Supporting Actor was the same man in a different movie.
