Shirley Temple presents an Academy Honorary Award (plus seven miniatures) to Walt Disney for Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (released earlier that year on February 4, 1938) at the 11th Academy Awards.

Ten-year-old Shirley Temple remarked, upon seeing the (all-male) set of statuettes:

“I thought Snow White was overlooked. I thought it was an early sexist problem where they left her out. The big one is the one usually presented to who the person is. I mean Snow White wasn’t there. I went to the Snow White premiere, and participated in all of the fun and knew Walt Disney, and when I presented this to him it just seemed to me that he was getting the big award and that the 7 dwarves were getting an award and that Snow White herself had been left out. But that’s because I was 11 and what did I know anyway?”
