Some galaxies, you won't be able to see much detail in no matter how much aperture you have. The Andromeda Galaxy is a good example of this. In large and small telescopes alike, it's a fuzzy oval blob. In photos though, even ones taken with small telescopes, it's spectacular.
The first Academy Awards, which is the only AA ceremony not to be broadcast on either radio or television, took place on May 16, 1929. Held at a private dinner at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel in L.A., the ceremony lasted 15 minutes, tickets cost five dollars and was attended by 270 people.
[Three awards were given during the Academy's first year that were never given again: Best Unique and Artistic Production, Best Title Writing (for silent films), and Best Comedy Direction.] Obviously, the first and only silent film to win 'Best Picture' was Wings (1927/28).
