modern screen's silver cup award winners for 1954
Here they are, the stars you elected to the charmed circle as this year's award winners. Your ballots poured in to us by the thousands daily, and when the final votes were counted, we found that you had given us the closest race for top honors in the long history of Modern Screen's famous popularity awards.
You selected Ann Blyth and Rock Hudson (both first-time winners) as the most popular stars of 1954. To Ann and Rock and the entire distinguished roster of Top-Ten stars we extend our warmest congratulations These awards, representing the affection and respect of over 5,000,000 readers of Modern Screen, are the true measure of their achievement.
You may not have realized it, but over the years you also prepared another award, one we were very proud to give— that of Star Of Stars. It went to Barbara Stanwyck and Alan Ladd, consistently among the most popular in ten years of Modern Screen polls.
For the first time this year, awards were given to your favorite new TV personalities of the year. They went to newcomer George Gobel and all-time favorite Ann Sothern, top comedians both.
And to Grace Kelly and Robert Francis, whom you selected as the most popular new movie stars of 1954, we offer a special welcome.
This year, too, we introduced the Starmaker Awards. These went to ten of Hollywood's greatest producer-directors, the men and women who work behind the scenes to plan a movie, put it together and bring it to you. They don't always get the publicity they deserve but they merit our grateful recognition. The citations presented to them read: "For inspired leadership and guidance, for proving, through personal achievement, that movies are better than ever . . .' proud to congratulate these great Hollywood showmen.
The cups and citations were presented at a gala Modern Screen party in Hollywood. The hostess was our own gracious Louella Parsons, who has the complete story and pictures in her exclusive gossip section starting on page 9 of this issue.
The editors want to thank you all for your ballots, for your enthusiastic help that made these awards possible. We are proud to present them in your name.
