The first Oscars ceremony was held on May 16, 1929, at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood and it was the only time that a film from the silent era won best picture award. It was 1939 when the academy officially began using the nickname ”Oscar” for its awards.
In the 90 years journey the ”Moonlight” becomes the first ever film with an all black cast to win best picture, but in a backstage envelope mix up, victory was first handed to musical ”La La Land” last year. Earlier in 2016 there had been a protest for being second year in a row that all the 20 nominees for acting category were white. Which prompted criticism and the hash tag #OscarsSoWhite went all over the social media.
It’s only been thrice that a movie won in every category for which it was nominated. In 2003 ”The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King”, won 11 awards, tying with ”Titanic” in 1997 and ”Ben-Hur” in 1959.
And so with so many legacies, the final countdown has begun only few days left for the world’s biggest awards ceremony; let’s see who will bag the golden trophy at the 90th Academy Awards this year.
