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.
