Anne Baster was also in contention for the Best Actress Oscar for "All About Eve".
Gloria Swanson was also in contention for the Best Actress Oscar for "Sunset Boulevard".
Quite a year
There was also a nomination for Eleanor Parker in "Caged", which isn't a film in the same league as the others.
Here's a brief clip of the Oscar being announced. The host that year was Fred Astaire. The presenter was Broderick Crawford who was also in "Born Yesterday". It's likely that the winner was not expected as Judy Holliday wasn't there. Broderick Crawford could have accepted the award on her behalf as he was also in "Born Yesterday". (He wouldn't have known who had won beforehand, just a coincidence). Her aware was instead collected by Ethel Barrymore.

A very short but sweet acceptance speech
I noticed that the camera didn't pan around the room to see the faces of those who didn't win
