The 3rd Academy Awards in 1930

*whole

It's very nice to find a good quality hole, especially when it originates as far back as 1930.

*The Women

Cormac Doheny Was is not year 1929?

@@ninnaaaaaaaaaa The 1929 one was the first. It wasn't broadcast. The second, also in 1930 was the first to be broadcast, in radio.

@@arfansthename thanks for ur answer, smart people 👌

4 hours of liberal cultural indoctrinated bullshit.

I REALY hate that crap. Tweet about it instead of rattling on about the same shit.

Max Power and I don’t care to watch it

Yeah. I mean I don’t mind people expressing their ideologies and I really don’t mind listening to Republican and Democratic ideas but they should leave that aside because this is an awards show for the Motion Picture Arts, not some political stand-up comedy show.

CalfMan Politics affects arts as much as commerce.. Artists have the right to express their opinion wherever they want.. Moreover, the world doesn't around America and it's politics..

Conrad was a great sensitive actor.

Ryan Swan can u tell him I said hi my name is David by the way

Wonderful ❤️

I'm i

interesting, thanks.

Yes. The description is a bit misleading

Thank you for this context. I was wondering for what this footage was shot. The ceremony wasn’t broadcast to the public visually until the early 50s, so I found this footage interesting. Thanks for the historical background on this.

For sure!!!

🤭

I think you mean de-volved.

@Site Web mais digno rs

Lmaoooo 😂

@Site Web self control

Beautifully said! I totally agree with you - she's charming, soft, elegant and grand ❤

That "old man" is the founder of Universal Studios, which is the top 5 studios in the motion picture industry. Currently, it is owned by NBC and is called NBCUniversal.

The Queen of MGM

According to some recent reading, Shearer wanted to change the story to make Scarlett more sympathetic. Selznick got tons of angry letters about both the idea of her being (mis)cast and the possible plot change. And they were right.

Your timing is imagined and all wrong. Vivien Leigh was confirmed as Scarlett in December 1938, shortly after the burning of Atlanta was filmed. Principal photography on the film began in February 1939. Norma Shearer was never a serious contender for the role.

She’s beautiful

The only.reason she won an Oscar was because MGM ruled and her husband was golden boy Irving Thalberg was her husband she was at best a competent actress and she was not that attractive she is forgotten for the simple reason that she is forgettable a lot of the roles that she played should have. been given to women that were more attractive and talented like Joan Crawford or Roz Russell

@@johnfulton4061 aw, come on. She was a doll!

But not the Canadian film industry?

The Queen of MGM

It became a spectacle. All flash and no class.

@@Kaboomboo So true.

They weren't really dominant. Sound films were made for three years at this point and had pretty much overtaken the silent genre, though there were a few holdouts.

@@ChickenGeorgeClooney When I read David's comment, I actually said aloud "They weren't really dominant," and then clicked "View Replies" and those were your very first words! :D

No, by fall of 1930 talkies were "the thing". Silents we're quickly becoming "passe"...

morris wright...the Academy Awards ceremony has not advanced; it has regressed to degrading. Never in the ceremony's entire history had it looked so pathetic as the 2022 ceremony!! And the recipients, producers, directors, etc...out there in Hollywood in recent years think they are so sophisticated, worldly and God's gift to entertainment and the world. Oh, how I beg to differ!! This 1930 clip tells all.

No audience. Terrible acting. Terrible staging. Utterly static. Did they learn nothing from the movies they made?

The first time it ever happened was 2022 ceremony. Never ever in the 95 year history of these awards has anyone slapped another. That is why the Academy will never invite Will Smith back to another ceremony. Totally uncalled for...

*who were.... They were both immigrants. Mayer from Russia to Canada as a child, and Laemmle, from Germany to the U.S. as a teenager.

Austin Gerhardt I was just about to comment on the accent. It would be interesting to know how it was lost.

Transatlantic accent

@@Amal757 The only people who ever had this accent naturally were from the upper class on the US East Coast. Most actors in those days (aside from Humphrey Bogart and Katherine Hepburn) were not of that class, and were taught this accent by elocution teachers. Once acting became more naturalistic, the incentive to teach it was gone. By the late 1930s, fewer adult actors use this accent. The last famous person I recall having it naturally was the conservative TV pundit William F. Buckley, who died in 2008.

It's because the English crafted the accent so it sounds like English accent. The guy said "metro goldwin mayor" instead of "mare"

@@ya.thegoat8795 That's how Mayer is pronounced.

In 1930 two ceremonies were held. The second and the third

😂

I agree with you, although i love Bette Davis in Jezebel. But i would've give the Oscar to Norma with her Marie Antoinette performance.

This clip is the third award ceremony from 1930. There were two different 1930 ceremonies that year. Marie Antoinette was in 1938 with Shearer and Power. Bette Davis won for Jezebel. Marie Antoinette was nominated for best pic. Please keep comments directed toward clip. We are not commenting on the "would have, should haves" of the futures of these winners.

He was born right after the Civil War!

1867...he was only 63 years old here..he died 9 ears later at 72 in 1930 the life span was 58 for men and 62 for women

So, Victorian era.

oh yea... completely ignore the racism and segregation eh?

I love your qualifier "at least publicly." 😂🌺😊

Dumb comment

Raza Alee...if you are referring to Louis B. Mayer, I would advise you to do more research It was Garland's mother who started her down that path. Too many people blame Mayer and MGM for Garland's addiction. No, Garland was introduced to diet and pep pills before she ever came to Metro Granted, Metro did not deal with her addiction properly, or, should I write, more proactively, but Garland did not take the proper steps to rehab either Mayer and MGM were not responsible for her initial addiction. Director Joe Mankewicz even confronted Ethel Gumm and Mayer about the escalation of her addiction. The mother just practically dismissed Mankewicz as if he didn't know what he was talking about. Many times the apple does not fall far from the tree!!!!

It's just different artists; different times, that's all.

It was always Hollyweird. They just were able to conceal it better.

*at that time.

Clem B Banda...I cannot believe you would prefer to see rough stuff between Smith and Rock, to hear political bias and to witness some of the true "scum of the earth" being awarded for the garbage they have created. Give me something comparable to this clip anytime!!
