With red carpet appearances by Sophia Loren, Edward G. Robinson,

Honestly, this opening is so much better than OSCARS 2020.

[@OsagieGuobadia]

Hmph, for once I agreed! : ) I mean, this opening video of the Oscars (back in 1963) is in black and white which is digitally remastered that I wasn't born in the 1960's, but only in the late 1990's (1998).

Those 1963 Oscars marked the first time hand-held cameras were used (ABC once called theirs "creepie-peepies") to cover the arrivals and the stars up close inside the theater.

[@g.n.stacey]

The awkwardness of having no music in the background is so hilarious lmao

[@prazolbista]

Wow how do you have a official artist sign even you've so less subscribers ? You're living in the future

[@g.n.stacey]

Prazol Bista because I’m an official artist lmao

[@prazolbista]

@@g.n.stacey That's cool. How do you exactly get this logo ? Do you have to prove yourself by some kind of means? I don't mean to offend you I'm just curious and English isn't my first language so am sorry if that was rude

[@g.n.stacey]

Prazol Bista no no it wasn’t rude I get it, I’m partnered with a distribution organization called DistoKid, if your looking into buying it, go to my page and look at my recent community post. It has a link with a coupon to DistriKid

This is far better cuz you can see how it really was!

[@avikghosh7543]

That's the best opening monologue I have ever heard at any award ceremony in the world

[@garycooper7988]

Really ??

[@schwei56]

For a moment we are all in heaven, when Fox Music chief Alfred Newman conducts the music of Leonard Bernstein, and then proceeds to play-on Francis Albert Sinatra.

[@fenard]

how is it possible that your message came out 2 years ago ? probably a bug

[@schwei56]

A bug associated with the update that elevated these very comments? 🧐 UPDATE: The timestamp on the clip itself is bogus; I first watched this clip quite a while ago.

[@JackiePhillipsTheSocialPet]

Great intro by Frank Sinatra!

[@Paullittos]

please continue to post the ceremonies of all times and start posting also the presentations of the best song category

[@JK-kv1xl]

most of those are already on here. just go to the magnifying glass top right and put in a year like 1970 Oscars or 1980 oscars and it will pull up all Oscar show clips for that year.

The great Alfred Newman was musical director/conductor, and his distinct sound comes through, loud & clear.

[@allenjones3130]

Alf Newman was one of the all-time movie maestros.

[@irwinmiller8684]

It's amusing that Sinatra introduced Shelly Winters as a presenter- they made a film together called Meet Danny Wilson, before Sinatra's comeback, and they hated working with each other. It ended badly.

[@schwei56]

The Academy would consider it a devaluing their product. There is also an issue with all the video clips (the nominated films) as well as the live performances, which are copyrighted material. Hollywood is an industry first, a cultural treasure second.

[@MRClean-sp2ju]

I hope someday,that Oscar organization will have an award for the athletes in defferent sport like example, most inspirational life time award, and Not just an atletes award,, beacuse like an Actor or News caster, they also entertained the viewers by doing what they love to inspire others

[@milodad]

That’s what sports organizations are for. Not an organization devoted to the film industry.
