And in this case uh, who showed up was Jesse Lasky, Jr., uh son of Jesse Lasky, you know, one of the great founders of the Hollywood studio system at Paramount. Generally people accept their own awards or they say accepting in New York will be - generally, you know, if you get an Oscar you show up. Jesse Lasky Jr., Vice President of the Screenwriters Branch of the Writers Guild will accept the award for Mr. And the guy steps to the microphone and Deborah Kerr introduces him and says. And then a guy gets up and everybody is assuming that this is Robert Rich come to get his award. So there's a, you know, a big shout out for Robert Rich, you know, beating out Jean-Paul Sartre. Nominations for Best Motion Picture Story are: Robert Rich for The Brave One, Leo Katcher for The Eddy Duchin Story, Jean-Paul Sartre for The Proud and the Beautiful, and Cesare Zavattini for Umberto D. There was Best Story, Best Original Screenplay and Best Adapted Screenplay. I am delighted to be able to present the writing awards.Īnd at that point in history, there were three writing awards, not two. And now I'd like to say two of the most beautiful words in the motion picture industry, Deborah Kerr. Jerry Lewis, in white tie and long tails, sort of dances on stage and introduces Deborah Kerr. We'll let him set the stage for that night at the Pantages Theater in Hollywood. Howard Rodman is a screenwriter, professor at the USC School of Cinematic Arts, and former president of the Writers Guild of America West. It was really the first kind of crack in the wall. It was a very significant event in the history of the Hollywood blacklist. Overall, it was a somewhat unremarkable night, except for one moment that would spark a mystery, one that helped bring a dark period in American history to an end. And of course, I didn't see all the picture because the kid in front of me grew up. The other night, I went to see War and Peace.
Now the length of these pictures is fantastic. On March 27th, 1957, the 29th Annual Academy Awards were underway. Now War and Peace cost $9 million dollars. Now there's a new trend in motion pictures nowadays, it's expense.
