Ten years after the end of World War I, Hollywood entered an unprecedented period of prosperity. Paramount, MGM, Warner Bros., 20th Century Fox, Columbia University, American Radio and Television, and Universal can completely compete with the largest industries in the United States. Hollywood has become a veritable movie capital and entered a golden age that lasted for more than 20 years.

1927, Meyer, general manager of MGM film company, had an idea in his mind. At a small banquet at his seaside villa, he suggested to his closest friends in the film industry, "The most talented actors, directors, screenwriters and photographers in our circle should get together and form a group ... so that they can become the pillars of Hollywood." All the guests present at that time agreed, but no one thought that this idea would change the film history of Hollywood and even the United States. Many years later, when Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences stood firm after the storm and the Academy Awards became the most influential award, people had to admit Louis Meyer's great contribution and foresight to American movies after reviewing this landmark decision again.

The first Oscar night in the history of Oscar was held in the bud room of Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood on May 19, 2009. The ceremony lasted only 4 minutes and 22 seconds, the shortest in Oscar history. This year, * * * awarded 15 Oscar, which belongs to 12, but many awards were short-lived, such as the best subtitle award and the best artistic quality award, which were cancelled for the second time.

This year, the world came out of silence. Warner Film Company dared to be the first in the world and made a feature film "The King of Jazz" with an episode. Although many famous people in Hollywood, including Charlie Chaplin and Louis Meyer himself, don't quite approve of the movie's moving from silence to sound, King of Jazz caused an unprecedented sensation after its release in Hollywood, and people were overjoyed when they heard people's voices on the screen for the first time. The college refused to propose that King of Jazz be selected as the best film and the best artistic quality, and only awarded a special award to Warner Pictures. However, it has become a historical necessity for movies to move towards sound. Not long after, major film companies changed their tune one after another, and audio films finally replaced silent films as the mainstream of the screen. Many big stars in the silent film era began to speak on the screen one after another. When greta garbo, the Hollywood goddess, played anna christie, MGM only promoted one sentence for the film: "Garbo spoke", which became the front page title of 12 newspapers.

This year's Academy Awards were all awarded to silent films except one special award. As the last classic in the silent film era, Yong won the best film award and the best artistic effect award. Its shooting techniques include aerial shooting, wide-screen performance, and shooting red and blue air combat shots. After that, the silent film completed its historical role and gradually withdrew from the stage.

From 65438 to 0929, the United States began to enter the Great Depression, and many unemployed workers lived on the streets. However, the film industry has shown a momentum of prosperity. The appearance of talking movies has injected new vitality into the film industry. At first, Louis B. Mayer, a clever movie giant, didn't attach importance to talking movies. Later, seeing that audio films were more promising than silent films, MGM Pictures decisively issued a change order. This year, MGM Film Company made two major contributions to sound films. One is the cantilever microphone pioneered in the filming of Mrs. X, which keeps the microphone above the actor's lips all the time, greatly improving the recording quality. The other is the new synthesis technology created by the famous producer Irving Salberg when he was the producer of Broadway Melody. MGM's first sound film, Broadway Melody, which started late, won the Best Film Award at the Second Academy Awards, thus ending Warner's dominance in the sound film trend.

1930 On April 3rd, the second Academy Awards ceremony was held in the Coconut Grove Hall in Ampasa. On that day, the hotel was brightly lit, and the crowds who came to participate in the joy were endless. This year's Oscar has seven awards, which is the least in the history of Oscar awards. Seven awards were awarded to seven films, which is unique in history.

The best actress award went to Mary Pickford, who starred in coquettish woman. This is her first time in a talking film. The beautiful and lovely actress began to make a living by acting when she was five years old. When she first joined Bevograf Film Company, her weekly salary was only $20, and she was extremely poor. She first appeared on the screen in the Lonely Villa directed by Griffith at the age of 65,438+06. She is petite and exquisite. A pair of lovely dimples on the doll's face have created many healthy and clear images of girls on the screen, which are the innocent and ideal images of girls in the eyes of the American people, so they are called "American lovers". Her films such as Tess of the Storm Country and Madame Butterfly are very popular, but in 19 16, like many famous film directors and actors,

Mary pickford Film Company was established on the road of production, and her later husband douglas fairbanks also established douglas fairbanks Company in 19 17. During this period, there were many large and small companies in Hollywood, which were very lively, and there was quite a tendency for a hundred schools of thought to contend in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Shortly thereafter, Fanpunk and his first wife divorced because of different interests. Pickford and Fan Punk finally got married because of business cooperation, and they were close and affectionate. Fan Punk, burly and handsome, is best at playing the image of a chivalrous hero who is upright, brave, kind-hearted and saves the people. His films such as three musketeers, Son of Zorro, Robin Hood and man in the iron mask made him a very popular puppet.

193 1 year, in the stormy situation, the boss of Radio and Television China Company spared no expense to shoot the western epic film "Top Gun Millennium", which was a great success. The pioneering spirit advocated by this film has had a strong response among the American public. At the climax of the film, a large number of immigrants rode in carriages or horses and fought fiercely for free land. The scenery in Ma Benteng is magnificent and exciting. Lei Company, which won the first three zero awards, won three awards for best film, script and artist in one fell swoop with this film, and since then, western films have flourished in Hollywood. However, as the only best film in the history of the Academy Awards, the record of Top Gun Millennium was not broken until 60 years later by Dancing with Wolves directed by kevin costner, which directed, performed and discussed the relationship between whites and Indians.

The 4th Academy Awards Ceremony was held in193111at the Baltimore Hotel in Los Angeles. Before the official start of this award ceremony, the lights in the Golden Hall dimmed and Edison's head was exposed on the wall. The venue was solemn and silent for Thomas Edison, who just died. This year's Academy Awards set up a new award, namely, the Science and Technology Award, in recognition of people who have made contributions to film technology. This year's best actress was won by 62-year-old Lila Mary, who was the oldest actress when she won the prize. In her award-winning work Save the Woman, she plays an ill-fated old man who adopts an abandoned child and has to kill to protect the child. Perhaps because dressler's own road was bumpy, her performance was particularly sincere and touching, thus defeating four beautiful young competitors in one fell swoop and winning the throne of best actress.

At that time, no one expected that this paralyzed great man would become the only president in American history to be re-elected for three times, and no one knew that the new government, which was denounced as "the plot of the * * * production party", would save the United States. Hollywood is busy "making beautiful movies for beautiful people". MGM, who wants to show off her strength, shot the all-star movie Grand Hotel this year, starring greta garbo, joan crawford, john barrymore, Wallace Pillay and Leona Barrymore. In this film, five protagonists with different identities and status meet by chance in a luxury hotel in Berlin, and are driven by despicable desires to create conspiracy and bloodshed in one day and one night. This special story structure is the first time in Hollywood movies, and five of them are starred by MGM stars, which is also unprecedented. The star system, which finally formed in the late 1920s, is one of the powerful pillars of Hollywood film industry, and has ruled Hollywood for 30 or 40 years. Although there are many stars in this movie, it may be the reason for each other's ups and downs. Every actor's performance was not particularly outstanding, so no one won a single award.

There were two actors in the 5th Oscar, both of whom were elected as the best actor because of the close votes. Redrick and dr. jekyll and mr. hyde and Mr Hyde both won the title of Best Actor for their roles as the gentle doctor and his cruel incarnation, while Wallace Pillay, who plays the boxer in In, also won the same honor for his excellent acting. This is the first time that two people have shared an award. Since this session, the college has learned one, and every time, several more gold statues will be prepared at the award site to deal with similar situations.

This year's best actor award went to helen hayes, the famous "First Lady of American Drama" on Broadway. This film, translated into The Sin of Madeleine Crawford, describes the story of an actress's mother who sacrificed herself as much as possible to make her illegitimate child stand out and finally made him a promising scientist. With her skillful and delicate acting skills, helen hayes portrayed her mother's great maternal love very touching, and MGM President Meyer was moved to tears after reading it, so Helen deserved to win the best actress award this year.

At the next Oscar, Disney will win the Best Cartoon Award again with "Three Little Pigs". In his acceptance speech, he used the word "Oscar" to refer to the award of the Academy Awards. Although the college thought that the name Oscar was originally called by a female librarian, once she accidentally caught a glimpse of the golden statue and exclaimed, "God, it's just like my uncle Oscar", and some busybodies spread the name. In addition, Betty Davis and a film columnist, Sidney Skolskovsky, also insisted that they were named, but it is an indisputable fact that the name of the Oscar was accepted by the academy because Disney mentioned "Oscar" with reverence and appreciation in his speech. In, the Oscar Award was named the Oscar Award, which has been in use ever since.

1934 March 16, the 6th Academy Awards ceremony was held in the Coconut Room of Pasade Hotel. The famous comedian Will Rogers is the master of ceremonies. His humorous talk and flexible mastery make the award presentation the most lively process in history. When awarding the best director, he opened the envelope and said, "I watched this young man grow up." That's great. Come on up, Frank! " ! Frank capra, a young director who was nominated for directing Lady Today, jumped up and thought that his dream would come true, but it was not Frank who was a "young man" and frank lloyd who directed Gone with the Times. Under the eyes of the public, capra walked through the "longest, most pitiful and heartbreaking" period in his life, but he was not depressed. It turns out that one of Rogers' jokes made a man.

Frank capra's One-Night Stand made him stand on the podium for the first time and created a miracle in the history of Oscar. The film based on the novel Midnight Bus has experienced twists and turns. An actor who didn't want to make a movie at first, an actress who was always critical, and a story that didn't stand out, all these didn't become an obstacle to frank capra. At the awards party, One Night's Love dominated the competition and won five awards, namely, Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor and Actress, and Best Adapted Screenplay. When the master of ceremonies Owen Cobb announced the best film, he just said, "The winner is ..." The audience received "... One Night Stand!" This kind of fighting is rare in the history of awarding prizes.

1938, a lively, healthy and clear comedy "Life is like a Dream" once again pushed capra to the throne of the best director. This is the third time in five years that he won the Oscar for best comedy screenwriter and director. This story describes the serious and sophisticated Wall Street tycoons trying to buy real estate and build factories for profit. Influenced by their families who are wasting their time and racing against the clock, they give up their original intention of becoming philanthropists and preach the idea that good neighborliness and happiness are more important than thousands of dollars. Capra successfully combined social satire with warm human feelings to form this excellent comedy, which makes people feel like a spring breeze. Because of this, in the face of the classic challenge of Phantom, one of the greatest anti-war films in film history, Living Like a Dream still won two awards: best film and best director.

Capra's contribution to American movies goes far beyond this. 1935, just after the directors' union was established, the actors' union and the playwrights' union announced that they would boycott the Academy Awards. Major production companies withdrew their investments because of the weakness of the Academy in labor disputes, and the Academy suffered indignities on both sides. frank capra became the dean of the Academy and promulgated a series of reform measures, including the implementation of the "open door policy", which made the Academy increasingly international; Increase the best supporting actor award and double the performance award; Presided over the formulation of the new articles of association of the college, bridging the rift between the college and the trade unions. It can be said that capra is such a historical figure. If the college went from yesterday to today, … and fell down in the middle, it was capra who helped it stand up and gave it a new start.

Go beyond time and space and return to 1932, the scene of the 6th Academy Awards. This year, the British Empire flourished again in the United States. The Private Life of Henry VIII won the best actor award for its unattractive British actor Charles Laughton, while another British film, Gone with the Spring and Autumn, won the best film and director awards for reflecting the 30-year change of a British family from the end of the Victorian Dynasty to the end of the First World War ... Perhaps this is the reason for the excellent film nomination this year. Many excellent films, such as 42nd Street, the best musical in history, and the comedy treasure of humor and wisdom, all returned empty-handed.

1934, Colombia, one of the eight Hollywood companies, has not made any achievements in winning the Oscar. Harry Cohen, the boss of Columbia Company, borrowed robert montgomery, a famous MGM actor, to help him prepare a customized comedy. Meyer, president of MGM, replied, "Montgomery doesn't think this kind of film is worth acting." This comedy film directed by frank capra won five gold medals for best director, best actor and best actress at the 7th Oscar Night. Together with two awards and a technical award won overnight, Colombia won eight Oscars in the same night, and the seventh award night became a veritable Columbia night.

Throughout the 1930s, Gaby soared to become the undisputed most famous male movie star in Hollywood. He starred in
