- Designed the Academy Award (Oscar) statuette.
- Received over 1500 on-screen credits between 1917-56, an unsurpassed record.
- He was nominated for and won more Academy Awards than any other art director.
- According to the book "Let's Go to the Movies!" by Lester Gordon published by Santa Monica Press in 1992, the reason his name appears in over 1500 film credits is as follows: "His 1924 contract stated that every film released by MGM in the USA would give him the credit of Art Director, even though others did the majority of the work."
- Dolores Del Rio recommended to Gibbons that he use Emilio Fernández (aka "El Indio") as the model for the statue.
- When I find things I like I see no reason to change them. Except women.
- [to Garson Kanin and Ruth Gordon, who wrote Madame porte la culotte (1949), when they went to Gibbons' office to discuss the sets for that film] You know, this is an historic day. I've been at the studio [MGM] for 25 years and this is the first time writers have ever been in my office.
