The 17th Annual Academy Awards took place at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre on Thursday, March 15, 1945.

Two films had ten nominations apiece: Going My Way and Wilson. Interestingly enough, actor Barry Fitzgerald found himself nominated for both Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor in Going My Way; a rule change would ensure that would not happen again.

Heading into the ceremony, the following film(s) had five or more nominations:

  • Wilson: 10
  • Going My Way: 10
  • Since You Went Away: 9
  • Double Indemnity: 7
  • Gaslight: 7
