History of the Academy Awards Ceremony   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10) For fifteen years the Academy Awards (1st-15th) were banquet affairs held, after the first in the Blossom Room, at the Ambassador Hotel and at the Biltmore Hotel. Two were awarded for the 1927/28 year: one went to Warner Bros. for producing the pioneer talking picture, The Jazz Singer, and the other went to Charlie Chaplin for producing, directing, writing, and starring in The Circus. The Awards ceremony was postponed from April 8 to April 10 in 1968 out of respect for Dr. Martin Luther King, who had been assassinated a few days before the Awards presentation, and whose funeral was held on the day set for the Awards. www.netvista.net /~tlewenz/aa/acadhist.htm   (1035 words)

Honorary Academy Awards Nomination : Elvis Presley   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10) Some stars get awards and the public do not think they merit them, as the entertainment is nil and it is all the modern crash bang wallop, big noise and so called action films which are easily forgotten. An award for Elvis would be an acknowledment of the peoples choice -none of his fans expect him to be recognised by the institutions because he hasn't been in the past -but we live in hope. I also believe Elvis deserves this award, not only he was en is still the king in music but he would be a very good actor if only he had the change to play in more serious movies. www.oscarworld.net /awardlobby_read.asp?LobbyId=151   (12467 words)
