The 23rd Annual Academy Awards

The 23rd Annual Academy Awards

Is there any reason that this page should exist? The first Oscars to be televised were the 25th Annual Academy Awards in 1953. This is the 23rd in 1951. I know movie footage of earlier Oscar ceremonies appeared in newsreels, but surely there was no complete movie of the event.

Accepted solution

The 21st, 22nd and 24th ceremonies are also listed:

https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?title=annual%20academy%20awards&sort=year,desc

I didn't add them, but when I researched it (see Early award shows) I found that those ceremonies exist in the Academy archives and extensive clips are available on YouTube. I added external links to all four titles to show this.

I removed the release dates from those titles as they were not released at the time.
