He was voted the Number One Male Screen Star for 1955 in the MPE poll. Alfred Hitchcock receives his award from Manning for his directing of "Rear Window," voted the year's best dramatic picture. Doris Day and James Stewart hold Laurel Awards testifying to their victories in the Top Ten Stars division of the poll. Promising young producer Ross Hunter holds his Laurel Award for "Magnificent Obsession," a Top Five dramatic film. June Allyson and her husband, Dick Powell, share Laurel honors, hers for a Top Ten star, and his for a Top Ten film director victory. Rita Moreno received her Lauref Award for the niche she won as one of the Top Ten New Screen Personalities in her first feature role. fast-rising director Richard Fleischer is honored for his distinguished work on Walt Disney's "20,000 Leagues Under The Sea."
