==Accolades==
William Holden won the Academy Award for [[Academy Award for Best Actor|Best Actor in a Leading Role]]. His acceptance speech is one of the shortest on record ("thank you, thank you"), the TV broadcast had a strict cutoff time, which forced Holden's quick remarks. The frustrated Holden personally paid for advertisements in the Hollywood trade publications to thank everyone he wanted to on Oscar night. He also remarked that he felt that either [[Burt Lancaster]] or [[Montgomery Clift]] should have won the Best Actor Oscar for ''[[From Here to Eternity]]'' instead of him. He is said to have felt he was given the award as consolation for not having previously won it for ''[[Sunset Boulevard (film)|Sunset Boulevard]]''. {{citation needed|date=June 2016}}
