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.
The 49th Academy Awards were presented March 28, 1977, at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, Los Angeles. The ceremonies were presided over by Richard Pryor, Jane Fonda, Ellen Burstyn, and Warren Beatty. This Academy Awards ceremony is notable for Peter Finch becoming the first posthumous winner of an Oscar for acting, a feat matched only by Heath Ledger 32 years later.
