As with many of Hitchcock's films, there were Academy Award nominations, but no Oscars.This film was nominated for three awards: Best Story and Screenplay (Ernest Lehman), Best Color Art Direction/Set Decoration, and Best Film Editing (George Tomasini).From a distance, the Dwarves and Bilbo watched and rejoiced: "It fell.I saw it.It's dead.Smaug is dead." However, Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage), the future Mountain King, had become sickened, dark and sullen even though there was evidence of a new beginning: "The Ravens of Erebor are returning to the Mountain." Serge bragged about his sales and customers: "Sly come in and bought 14." At the dinner itself, Sanderson introduced DeWald as the "Private Law Enforcement Man of the Year" award winner -- commending him for his accomplishments and work with underprivileged kids.A few of the loosely-connected scenes that were woven ogether have become classics:the funny sight-gag of repeatedly pickpocketing a Sheriff of a $5 dollar bill, to make it look like a $15 bill was paidthe famous "Tootsie-Frootsie" Ice Cream/Code Book scene at the racetrackthe Phone Call Impersonation sequencethe two Medical Examination scenesa clever Pantomime (Game of Charades) o indicate a frame-upthe Dinner-Date seduction and Wallpapering to the Wall scenethe destruction of a piano and its transformation into a harpthe climactic Steeplechase race sequenceThis was theonlyMarx Brothers film to receive a competitive Oscar nomination -- Dave Gould's Best Dance Direction for the song/dance number "All God's Children Got Rhythm" in he last part of the film.
