Actresses without Oscar
Actresses without Oscar
Traditionally, every March, hundreds of millions of viewers tune in from around the world to watch the Academy Awards. The tradition of having a comedic Master of Ceremonies has continued with Johnny Carson, David Letterman, Whoopi Goldberg, and Billy Crystal. Meanwhile, each year the ceremony seems more extravagant, as Hollywood televises its image around the globe. However, many worthy actresses still have not received an Academy Award. In fact, among actresses without Oscar are such names as Marilyn Monroe, Sharon Stone, Monica Bellucci, Julianne Moore, Sigourney Weaver, Helena Bonham Carter, Michelle Pfeiffer, and many more. And it is possible to doubt the ability of the members of the jury. Anyway, this year, academics have one more chance to show the world their independence from public opinion. So, January 15 will be announced the nominees, and 22 February will be the 87th award ceremony “Oscar”.
Noteworthy, the first Academy Awards ceremony was at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel on May 16, 1929. By the way, it took Academy president Douglas Fairbanks five minutes to hand out all the awards. Best Actress and Best Actor were Janet Gaynor and Emil Jannings, while Wings won Best Picture. The ceremony was brief and unspectacular. Janet Gaynor professed to have been equally thrilled to receive the award as to have met Douglas Fairbanks. Meanwhile, the local and national media ignored the event completely.
