You Would Barely Recognize the First Oscars Ceremony

The Academy Awards can almost feel like the climax of an election season, with months of campaigning at prestigious award shows and major film festivals leading up to the big day. Therefore, it can be hard to believe that when they first began nearly a century ago, the ceremony was not mundane, but anticlimactic. The show itself lasted just fifteen minutes, a far cry from the several hours we have today, and the winners had actually been announced in advance.
