Oscars: First Academy Ceremony (1929)–Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel

First Academy Ceremony (1929)

It marked the second meeting of AMPAS, established in 1929, but it was the first in which awards were given.

Among the attendees are Louis B. Mayer, Cecil B. DeMille, Douglas Fairbanks, Irving Thalberg and Norma Shearer.
