And with a vintage photograph of Shirley Temple presenting the Oscar and seven miniature Oscars to Walt Disney for his 1937 film "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs". Shirley Temple wrote of this award in her 1988 autobiography, Child Star, "At the 1939 Academy Awards ceremony I presented to Walt Disney seven miniature Oscars for the dwarfs...noting extemporaneously that Snow White had been overlooked in the award. The audience roared approval...I was right. Snow White had gotten a raw deal by being ignored."
