The Oscar statuette for best documentary short was awarded in 1949 to Richard de Rochemont for a "March of Time" newsreel installment, "A Chance to Live," about a Boys Town in Italy. It's expected to fetch $40,000 to $60,000 (plus the 22.5% buyer's commission). CLICK HERE to see more. Because it was bestowed before 1950, it may be legally sold, according to academy guidelines.

The Golden Globe was presented to Robert Surtees in 1951 for best achievement in cinematography of a color production for "Quo Vadis," which also won a Globe for best supporting actor (Peter Ustinov). Final sale estimate: $4,000 to $6,000. CLICK HERE to see more. CLICK HERE to see more.
