The third Academy Awards ceremony was held on Wednesday, November 5, 1930 in the Coconut Grove of the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. Attempting to make the ceremony closer to the period of time the movies were eligible for the awards (August 1, 1929 through July 31, 1930), the third Academy Awards ceremony was held in November, only seven months after the second Academy Awards ceremony. Academy Vice President Conrad Nagel hosted the ceremony.
