During the first year of the award, the Best Director was divided into two separate categories, one for Drama and one for Comedy. There were times also that the Best Original Score award was also divided into separate categories, these are Drama, Comedy/Musical. However, from 1930 until the 60s the Art Direction, Cinematography, and Costume Design awards were also divided into two separate categories. These are black-and-white films and color films.
