An Academy Award plaque can be big bucks.  Not just for the winners.  But, for the winners families and for all other sellers of the Academy Award nomination.  The Academy Award nomination starts at $800 and can go as high as over $10,000.  Here are some examples of Academy Award nomination s that we at NateDSanders.com have sold.  We believe that we have sold more Academy Award nomination s than any other auction house.

Here is our most expensive Academy Award nomination sold.  Gloria Swanson’s Official 1950 Best Actress Academy Award Nomination for ”Sunset Boulevard”.  It sold for $14,271.

We also have amassed some cool film scoring nominations awarded to musical virtuosos like Jerome Kern, whose Academy Award certificate for his 1946 song “All Through the Day,” became posthumous.

He was nominated posthumously at the 19th Academy Awards ceremony for this song from his score of the musical comedy “Centennial Summer,” his last film scored before his death.
