Did you know...
... that today is Academy Awards Telecast Day? The Academy
Awards ceremony was first televised nationally on March 19,
1953. Trivia buffs: Bob Hope served as master of ceremonies,
Gary Cooper won Best Actor for High Noon, Shirley Booth won
Best Actress for Come Back, Little Sheba and Cecil B.
DeMille's The Greatest Show on Earth won for Best Picture
(many film buffs consider it one of most undeserving movies to
get an Oscar).
