Editing Lady for a Day (section)

==Awards and nominations==
''Lady for a Day'' was nominated for the [[Academy Award for Best Picture]] but lost to ''[[Cavalcade (1933 film)|Cavalcade]]''. May Robson was nominated [[Academy Award for Best Actress|Best Actress]] but lost to [[Katharine Hepburn]] in ''[[Morning Glory (1933 film)|Morning Glory]]'', and Robert Riskin lost the [[Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay]] to Sarah Y. Mason and Victor Heerman for ''[[Little Women (1933 film)|Little Women]]''.

[[Will Rogers]] presented the [[Academy Award for Best Director]], and when he opened the envelope he simply announced, "Come up and get it, Frank!" Capra, certain he was the winner, ran to the podium to collect his Oscar, only to discover Rogers had meant [[Frank Lloyd]], who won for ''Cavalcade'', instead. Possibly to downplay Capra's gaffe, Rogers then called third nominee [[George Cukor]] to join the two Franks on stage.<ref name=McBride />
