Officially, the film won eight competitive Academy Awards: Best Picture, Director, Actress, Supporting Actress, Screenplay, Cinematography (Color), Art Direction, and Film Editing. The film also received two other Academy Awards: an Honorary Award to William Cameron Menzies for the use of color to enhance the mood of the production; and a Scientific and Technical Achievement Award to R.D. Musgrave for developing the equipment that allowed for the creation of visual effects with three-strip Technicolor equipment. For years afterward, Selznick and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer added these two special-category Academy Awards to the official Oscar count and claimed that the film was the first to win ten Academy Awards, when in fact West Side Story (1961) would earn the distinction, twenty-two years later. Even now, all of the home video releases of "Gone with the Wind" carry the claim: "Winner of 10 Academy Awards, Including Best Picture".
