OSCAR, JUNIOR

Between 1934 and 1960, the Academy gave out a special "Juvenile Oscar" to child actors. They weren't given out every year and presented under the banner of "special acheivement" in whatever movie they starred in that year. The following list is of those who won this now retired award:

Shirley Temple - 1934 - "For her outstanding contribution to screen entertainment"

Deanna Durbin & Mickey Rooney - 1938 - "For their personification of spirit and youth and setting a high standard of ability and acheivement" (HUH?)

Judy Garland - 1939 - "The Wizard Of Oz"

Margaret O'Brien - 1944 - "Meet Me In St. Louis"

Peggy Ann Garner - 1945 - "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn"

Claude Jarman, Jr - 1946 - "The Yearling"

Ivan Jandl - 1948 - "The Search"
