- TriviaIn the first year of the Academy Awards, winners had been announced three months before the ceremony took place. Emil Jannings, who had been named Best Actor for his work in this particular film and The Way of All Flesh (1927), was planning to depart for his home in Germany, so he requested that he receive his award before he left. The Academy honored his request, effectively making Jannings the first person to officially receive an Academy Award. He would also become the first no-show winner.

Lev Andreyev: My lungs are weak.
Gen. Dolgorucki: [blows cigarette smoke into Lev's face] Perhaps it is your *courage* that is weak!
Lev Andreyev: It doesn't require courage to send others to battle and death.
