Roll Out the Red Carpet The Academy Awards are almost here! Who will be the best dressed? Will anyone beat Nicki Minaj's "unique" outfit from the Grammys? Lets hope not, but let's hope yes to the Muppet winning an Oscar.
The first awards were presented on May 16, 1929, at a private brunch at the Hollywood Roosevelt Holt with an audience of about 270 people. The post Academy Awards party was held at the Mayfair Hotel. The cost of guest tickets for that night's ceremony was $5. Fifteen statuettes were awarded, honoring artists, directors and other personalities of the film making industry of the time for their works during the 1927 – 1928 period. Today the very formal ceremony at which the Gold Oscars are presented is the most prominent award ceremonies in the world, and is televised live in more than 100 countries annually! Billy Crystal, veteran of film, television, the Great White Way and, of course, the Oscar stage, returns to host the Academy Awards. Keep your eyes pealed and maybe there will be a YUBZ Retro Handset siting on the red carpet... you never know!
