For you Oscar watchers at home, NPR follows up on a memorable Academy Award moment, when Hattie McDaniel won best supporting actress in 1939 for her role as Mammy in a little film called Gone With the Wind. Emotionally overcome during the ceremony, McDaniel told the Academy and Oscars watchers, “My heart is too full to tell you just how I feel.” McDaniel maintains the recognition—but she didn’t keep the award. Late in her life, she gave the plaque (back then, supporting actress winners got plaques) to Howard University. It wasn’t was subsequently lost. Or stolen. Or destroyed. The how, when, and why remains a mystery.
