*NOTE: HENRY V premiered in war-torn Britain in 1944. However, the movie was not issued for general release in the United States until June 17, 1946. Because a film's qualification for the Academy Awards depends on the year in which it is commercially released in Los Angeles County, California, HENRY V's Academy Award nominations were earned at the 1947 ceremony honoring the films of 1946.
