Academy Award for Best Dance Direction

The Academy Award for Best Dance Direction was presented from 1935 to 1937, after which it was discontinued due to pressure from the directors' branch. It is the only category for which a Marx Brothers film received an Oscar nomination, for the dance number "All God's Chillun Got Rhythm" in A Day at the Races (1937).
