Academy Award – Best Pictures
Winter 2010
On May 16, 1929, 200 film industry guests attended the very first Academy Awards, held at the now-famous Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. There were only ten nominations that year. Over the years more categories were added including, Best Short Subjects, Best Music and Song, Best Supporting Actor/Actress, Best Special Effects and, Best Costume Design. Over time, the Academy Awards have grown into the mammoth entertainment production they are today. In 1943, the public was invited to the awards when it moved in to the Grauman’s Chinese Theater. The following year, 1944, the Awards were broadcast for the first time over national radio network – ABC. And, on March 19, 1953, the Awards were first televised – and the whole world was invited (was watching). Now, the Charles Allis Art Museum and Milwaukee Film Classics invite you to view some truly classic Best Pictures from Hollywood’s Golden Age.
