The 5th Academy Awards were conducted by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences on November 18, 1932 at a ceremony held at The Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, California. The ceremony was hosted by Conrad Nagel. Films screened in Los Angeles between August 1, 1931 and July 31, 1932 were eligible to receive awards.

Walt Disney created a special animated short film just for the banquet, Parade of the Award Nominees.

Grand Hotel became the only best picture winner to be nominated for best picture and nothing else. It was also the last film to win best picture without a best director nomination until Driving Miss Daisy (1989).
