1949 Laurel Award Winner "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" Plaque
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px;">"Take Me Out to the Ball Game" is a 1949 Technicolor musical film that was produced by the Arthur Freed unit of MGM. It stars Frank Sinatra, Esther Williams, Gene Kelly, Betty Garrett, Edward Arnold, and Jules Munchin, and was directed by Busby Berkeley. The title of the film was taken from the unofficial anthem of American baseball, "Take Me Out to the Ball Game." The Laurel Awards were determined by both American and Canadian film buyers. After the vote, the results were published in Motion Picture Exhibitor magazine and each winner was given a plaque. The awards ran from 1948 to 1971. This lot features the 1949 Laurel Award that recognized Busby Berkeley for directing. The beveled wooden plaque measures 7" wide by 9.5" high and weighs one pound, 14 ounces. It includes two engraved metal plates adhered to the plaque, one that shows the "1949 Laurel Awards" emblem, and a smaller piece that reads: "TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME, DIRECTED BY BUSBY BERKELEY, A LAUREL AWARD WINNER."</span>
