In 1928, during the first-ever Academy Awards ceremony, the award for "Best Titles" was given for the first and last time.
|
|
|
|
 |
 | |  |
| And the winner is...JOSEPH FARNHAM! | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
After 1928, the rise of talking films, or "talkies", rendered the "Best Titles" award obsolete. It was never given again.

| Thank you for this honor. I hope it will be the first of many. | |

A short time later, Farnham also had the distinction of being the very first Academy Award winner to die.
