On May 16, 1929, the first Academy Awards ceremony took place, and in 1939, the official statuette was officially dubbed an "Oscar" (choose your own apocryphal tale as to how and why). This year, therefore, marks the 90th anniversary of this annual celebration of achievement in the field of moving-image arts and entertainment. While just as often about institutional and cultural politics as about merit, the award is nevertheless coveted by those in the industry as a mark of recognition by one's peers. Have your own favorite Oscar movie? Come join us as we spend an evening looking back at some of the highlights of this now well-established prize.
