The first Oscar was awarded at a private dinner held in the ballroom of Hollywood Hotel on May 6th, 929. * * * A total of 270 guests were hosted by Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which was founded in early 1927. Most of the attendees are members of the Hollywood royal family: stars who are bigger than life on the screen. Apart from the winners' names, we know little about the activities or ceremonies of 1929, because it is not broadcast in any form.
1930 The Academy Awards were first broadcast on the radio. The live TV broadcast began on March 1953 19, which deeply influenced the nature of this activity, and now it is watched by about 30 million to 40 million viewers every year.
Many folklores have different versions, which folklorists call variants, because few single sources are considered definite or authoritative. For example, there are several variations that can explain why the Academy Awards are called Oscars. One variant quotes actress bette davis (two-time Oscar winner) as saying that this little gilded statue reminds her of Harmon Oscar Nelson (her then husband) because they both have shallow backs. Another variant can be traced back to Oscar Wilde, an Irish playwright and poet. After winning the New Digate Poetry Award, he told reporters, "Every year, someone wins the New Digate, but not every year." It sounds interesting, but Wilde said this sentence in 1882+0. The most widely accepted variant can be traced back to Margaret herrick, who was the first librarian and later became the executive director of AMPAS. It is said that she claimed that the figurine reminded her of "Uncle Oscar". Skeptics noticed that Oscar Pierce was her second cousin, not her uncle.
Good luck, misfortune and bad luck often appear in folk beliefs and customs. For example, we believe that four-leaf clover and horseshoe will bring good luck. Walking under a ladder and walking with a black cat will bring bad luck. For people in the film industry, there is a view that even saying the word "Oscar" may ruin your chances of winning the Oscar. Presumably, one month before the 20 16 Oscar ceremony, actress Saoirse Ronan always avoided mentioning the word "Oscar". When her performance in Brooklyn (20 15) won her the best actress competition, although she didn't succeed.
Hollywood columnist Army archer interviewed Irene Bowman who played Snow White in the rehearsal of the 1989 Oscar ceremony. There is also a folk belief that if you have won an Oscar, your chances of winning a second Oscar will be greatly reduced because of the terrible "Oscar Award". In this category, 20-year-old timothy hutton became the youngest winner of the best supporting actor in history because of his performance in Ordinary People (1980), but he never found fable success again. Similarly, F. Murray Abraham won the Best Actor Award for his performance in Amadeus (1984), and since then he has appeared in more than 50 plays and films, but none of them has been nominated for an Oscar. He thinks that Oscar winners may encounter misfortune in their love life after regaining the Oscar. Among those affected by breakup, separation and divorce, there are halle berry, Hilary Swank and others. Of course, there are many exceptions to these pranks besides others, but these exceptions usually receive less attention than the victims. Any discussion about folk customs
