This is one of the last award shows my grandfather watched before he died. He was so amazed by satellite tv. The thought that a tv show could be beamed around the world from the US to Australia was amazing to him. He was the first person in his street to buy a tv in 1956 -not cos he was a show off, but because he loved the idea of 'the cinema in your own home!' He would have loved the internet so much. Thanks for posting this wonderful bit of history. Edit: that ensemble of Raquel Welch's! Girl knows how to make an entrance. Fantastic. I have 2, 1 in silver, thanks! :-)

I'm in Brisbane, Australia, in my 50's and admittedly saw a few of these Academy Awards on TV. A different time and world. Saw the legends of screen, vaguely remember the moon landing, learnt and could calculate in binary at high school. Literally grew up with computers and one of the few who appreciates technology and how it improved our lives, bringing the world together. Just like the Silver Screen and Cinema, it brought people together, it entertained us and now we have a generation who don't even know about the Hollywood of old and take our technology all for granted. They're using the tech now in fact to destroy us. Why? PS. Do note the most elegant Raquel Welch at the end of the clip. Thanks for the memories and RIP.

[@matthewronsson]

Agreed. So much pretention beneath all of that plastic in most all of the prominent celebrities, and yes, now it is simply 'celebrity', often vulgar with no class and far too much spewing of ignorant opinions. You can see accounts that their lives were often sordid train wrecks even back in the day but most could at least maintain some dignity in public, even though that isn't much more than most of us expect or expected of our children when in public.
