1943
2 Marzo 1944 Grauman’s Chinese Theatre
presenta Jack Benny

Commento

Dal lusso del Biltimore Hotel si passa il 4 marzo 1944 al teatro pubblico Grauman’s Chinese Theatre su suggerimento di Bette Davis. Sempre in guerra il presidente dell’Academy Walter Wagner almeno per quest’anno abolisce la tradizionale cena e disse per confermare tutto quello che successe l’anno precedente: “Se vincete un Oscar avete solo 30 secondi per ringraziare”.
Questa fu la prima edizione che aprì le porte al pubblico con 200 posti riservati ai membri delle forze armate.
Tante dunque le novità, tra cui anche il fatto di non aver calcolato che il teatro pubblico non disponeva di un parcheggio e le vetture ci misero un bel po’ prima di trovarlo rischiando di mettere a repentaglio il normale svolgimento della cerimonia.
Il presentatore Jack Benny presentò la serata degli Oscar con alle spalle una “mitica statua degli Oscar alta ben 3 metri e mezzo!!
Discretamente smistate le statuette, persino il produttore Jack Warner rimase sorpreso per la vittoria di “Casablanca”, del resto anche il regista Curtiz, che fu sconfitto più volte nel passato, sul palco ammise di non aver un discorso pronto al momento.
