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 first time the Academy replaced the phrase And the winner is... with And the Oscar goes to... was in 1989 at the 61st Academy Awards. Apparently everyone is a winner. The first actress to announce herself as a winner in the Best Actress category was Norma Shearer in 1931 for The Divorcee. That was the last time a nominated actor presented an award for his/her own category... And the winner is... ME!! Awkward! The first African American actress to win an Academy Award was Hattie McDaniel. She won in the category of Best Supporting Actress for her role in the 1939 film Gone With the Wind. The first actor to turn down his Best Actor award was George C. Scott in 1970 for Patton.
