Scarce original 1943 Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Certificate of Nomination, 10 x 11.5, presented to Paramount Pictures, Inc., “for Outstanding Achievement: Production of ‘For Whom The Bell Tolls,’” with the studio’s name and film title in hand calligraphy. Signed at the bottom by the Academy’s president Walter Wagner and secretary. In fine condition, with a couple of trivial edge tears. The gold foil seal is crisp and intact and retains its red and blue ribbons. The film, starring Gary Cooper and Ingrid Bergman, would receive a total of nine nominations, including Best Actress, Best Actor, and Best Music, with Katrina Paxinou winning for Best Supporting Actress. Paramount would loose out on this nomination, with the award going to Casablanca. A scarce opportunity to acquire a prestigious nomination for such a well-known film. RR Auction COA.
