In the course of a more-than-four-decade career, Judy Garland received numerous awards and nominations for her work in film, recording, theatre and television. Posthumously she has been honored in a number of ways.

Academy Awards

Garland was awarded a special Academy Juvenile Award in 1940 for her achievement in film in 1939. She had starred as Dorothy Gale in The Wizard of Oz that year and had also starred with Mickey Rooney in Babes in Arms.

She was nominated twice for Oscars as an adult. Her first nomination, for Best Actress, was for 1954's A Star Is Born. The second, for 1961's Judgement at Nuremberg, was in the Best Supporting Actress category.[1]

Garland's performance in A Star is Born earned her the 1955 Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy. She was nominated in the Best Supporting Actress category for Judgement at Nuremberg in 1962 and that same year was honored with the Cecil B. DeMille Award for Lifetime Achievement.[2]

Other honors

Since 1975, Garland's birthplace of Grand Rapids, Minnesota has held a yearly Judy Garland Festival in June.[9] At the 2006 festival, Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty and lietuenant governor Carol Molnau proclaimed June 22 to be "Judy Garland Day," recognizing and honoring Judy Garland for her dedication and exemplary achievements and to salute her as an outstanding citizen and patron of the Arts. Her children Lorna and Joey Luft were in attendance.[10]

Garland has twice been honored with commemorative postage stamps. In 1989, the United States Postal Service issued a series of Classic Films postage stamps, to honor the 50th anniversary of films made in the United States in 1939 that were nominated for Academy Awards. These 25¢ stamps featured four films: The Wizard of Oz, Gone with the Wind, Stagecoach and Beau Geste. Garland is pictured as Dorothy, with her dog Toto.[11] The United States Postal Service issued a stamp in 2006 honoring Garland in the Legends of Hollywood series.[12] The stamp depicts Garland as Vicki Lester from A Star Is Born and was painted by illustrator Tim O'Brien. The first day ceremony for this stamp was on June 10, 2006, on what would have been Garland's 84th birthday, in New York City with nationwide availability on June 12. The ceremony at New York's Carnegie Hall featured her daughter, Lorna Luft, Turner Classic Movies host Robert Osborne, Dick Cavett, Michael Feinstein, Rufus Wainwright, Terrence McNally, and Garland's MGM colleagues Jane Powell and Margaret O'Brien. Garland's daughter Liza Minnelli taped a special greeting exclusively for the ceremony.[13]

The Judy Garland Museum, dedicated to honoring Garland's talent and legacy, opened in 1975 in Grand Rapids, Minnesota. The museum is financially supported in part by the Judy Garland Heirs Trust and has the personal support of all of Garland's children. Garland's childhood home in Grand Rapids opened to the public in 1995. The museum claims to hold the largest collection of Judy Garland memorabilia in the world.[14]

Judy Garland has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame located at 1715 Vine St.[15]

A new breed of rose was introduced in 1977, dedicated to Garland. The Judy Garland Rose has yellow petals with bright red tips.[16]

Judy Garland was inducted into the Minnesota Music Hall of Fame located in New Ulm, Minnesota in 1991.[17]

Sigma Chi at the Ohio State University initiated Garland as a Sweetheart of Sigma Chi in 1938.[18]

The American Film Institute in 1999 named Garland eighth among the Greatest Female Stars of All Time.[19]

Garland's rendition of "Over the Rainbow" was placed as number 1 in the Songs of the Century project, by the Recording Industry Association of America and the National Endowment for the Arts. The list was assembled for young people to "help further appreciation for the music development process, including songwriting, musicianship, recording, performing, distributing and the development of distribution and cultural values."[20]

The song was also chosen by the American Film Institute as the #1 movie song of all time, as part of its "100 Years...100 Songs" list. Four more Garland songs were featured on the list: "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" from Meet Me In St. Louis (#76), "Get Happy" from Summer Stock (#61), "The Trolley Song," also from Meet Me In St. Louis (#26), and "The Man That Got Away" from A Star Is Born (#11).[21]
