Academy Awards
- Best Actor: Emil Jannings for The Last Command and the 1927 movie The Way of All Flesh
- Best Actress: Janet Gaynor for Street Angel and the 1927 movies Seventh Heaven and Sunrise
Note: Prior to 1933, awards were not based on calendar years, which is why there is no 'Best Picture' for a 1928 film.

Famous quotes containing the word academy:
“I realized early on that the academy and the literary world alike—and I don’t think there really is a distinction between the two—are always dominated by fools, knaves, charlatans and bureaucrats. And that being the case, any human being, male or female, of whatever status, who has a voice of her or his own, is not going to be liked.”
—Harold Bloom (b. 1930)
