Oscars first gala
The first Oscar ceremony was held on May 16, 1929, with a private lunch at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, before less than 300 people, who paid just over three euros. However, it was not until 1953 that the grand gala was televised on NBC. In the image, the British artist Bob Hope appears at the 1970 gala. Although he never won an Oscar for his performances, he was instead awarded five honorary statuettes, awarded for his contribution to cinema and for his many humanitarian activities
2/36oscar2'Snow White' received a life-size statuette and seven miniatures
There is no doubt that Walt Disney's career was very prolific. In addition to other awards, many of them honorary, the brilliant creator and director is the person who has been nominated for an Oscar the most times (60) and also the one who has received the most awards (26). Interestingly, for Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs he received a life-size statuette and seven miniatures. In the image, he appears with Shirley Temple, who in 1935 received a special Oscar for Young Performer at the age of just six
3/36oscar3Grace Kelly won the Oscar in 1955
On March 30, 1955 and only 25 years old, a beaming Grace Kelly emotionally picked up her Oscar for her performance in Anguish of Living. That same year, the actress traveled to the Cannes Film Festival to present the film and it was then that Pierre Galante, editor of a famous French newspaper, came up with the idea of organizing a photo session of Grace with Prince Rainier of Monaco at the Palace. . The couple's first meeting took place there on April 6, 1955. Nine months later, on January 5, 1956, their engagement became official. Raniero asked her to marry him without ceremony, with the usual: 'Do you want to marry me?' And she, also unceremoniously, answered only: 'Yes'
Previous editions 4/36 oscar4The only actress who received the Oscar in her bed
Another of the images that has remained to remember is that of Joan Crawford receiving her Oscar in bed for her role as Mildred Pierce in Alma en suplicio, in 1946. Days before the ceremony, she notified that she could not attend because she had to keep repose. Still today there are many who wonder if she was really sick or if it was a strategy for the Academy jury to feel sorry for her and vote for her, since she had never won an Oscar. They say that she spent the whole night hugging the statuette...
5/36 oscar5Two great Hollywood divas
Audrey Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor, two great Hollywood divas who managed to win the coveted statuette. Her first won twice, in 1954 as best actress for her role in Roman Holiday and in 1992 she received the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award. For her part, the woman with the violet eyes also received the same award for her humanitarian work, in her case in 1994 and previously won an Oscar on two other occasions, for A Marked Woman, in 1961, and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf ?, in 1967

7/36 oscar7Gwyneth Paltrow's unforgettable dress
Among the most iconic dresses in the history of the Oscars red carpet is this pink design by Ralph Lauren that Gwyneth Paltrow wore when she won the statuette for best actress for Shakespeare in love in 1999. Although at that time it received so much criticism as praises, today it is undoubtedly one of the most memorable designs of all time
8/36 oscar8The creators of South Park imitate two divas
In the 2000 edition, the creators of the South Park series, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, monopolized all the flashes parading the red carpet emulating Gwyneth Paltrow in her iconic pink dress and Jennifer Lopez, who caused a sensation at the awards Grammy with this sexy Versace design
9/36 oscar9Affleck and Damon's first hit

Two great moments at the 1998 Oscars
Anna Paquin and Roberto Benigni gave us two moments in the history of the Oscars that we keep with special affection in our memory. At just eleven years old, the actress could not have had a better debut on the big screen and she won an Oscar for her role in The Piano. Going on stage, Anna was stunned and could not believe what was happening. In fact, she was speechless, provoking laughter and applause from the attendees, whom she dazzled with her tenderness and spontaneity. For his part, the Italian actor left everyone speechless during the 1998 gala by celebrating his Oscar for his role in Life is Beautiful. Benigni did not think twice and after hearing his name he became euphoric and began to jump from seat to seat to the applause of the public
11/36Oscar winner for Kramer vs. Kramer, Sophie's Choice and The Iron Lady, she remains the most nominated actress in Academy Award history. This year, she has garnered her 20th nomination, with the nomination for best actress for her role as 'the world's worst soprano' in Florence Foster Jenkins. If she won the award, it would be her fourth Oscar, equaling Katharine Hepburn's record.
oscar11Three Oscars for an actress with a record in nominations
Meryl Streep, the most nominated actress in Oscar history, since her first nomination in 1979 for The Huntsman, not more than five years have passed without her being nominated for the best actress or best supporting actress trophy. Her record is not only proof of the love of the members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, but also the exemplary consistency of her career and the excellence of her choices. Streep, who took her last Oscar in 2012 for her incarnation of Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady, had already made history by then by confirming herself as one of the leading actresses of her generation. Her other two statuettes were for Best Supporting Actress in 1980 for Kramer vs. Kramer and Best Actress in 1983 for Sophie's Choice.
12/36 oscar12The great Jack Nicholson

Impossible (1197) and as best supporting actor for his role in the film The Force of Affection (1983)
13/36 oscar13The woman who sheltered Anne Frank
In 1995 we experienced another most emotional moment when the Oscar was awarded to the documentary Remembering Anne Frank, directed by Jon Blair, who took the stage accompanied by Miep Gies, the woman who gave shelter to the family and who kept the diary. 'Anne Frank loved movies. In October 1942, she even wrote that she wanted to come to Hollywood, but it was a dream she could never realize,' said Blair, who wanted to thank Miep because without her help none of this would have been possible. 'She is the heroine of the Anne Frank story, the woman without whom the diary would literally never have existed Ladies and gentlemen, this is Miep Gies, who found the diary on the floor. Miep is a true heroine', he added during his speech
36/14 oscar14Extravagant Oscars outfits
During these 90 years of Oscar, the red carpet has witnessed the glamor and elegance of the stars who have paraded it.

Julia Roberts turned heads at the 2001 Oscars not only for her much-talked-about vintage black velvet Valentino dress, which has become one of the most iconic in history, but for her award-winning speech for her role in Erin Brockovich. Apparently, the Academy promised a giant flat screen television for the one who offered the shortest speech, however, the 'girlfriend of America' ignored and took advantage of her moment. "I already have one, so I'm going to have a good time to say some things, because I'll probably never be here again," she assured excitedly

Her appearance on stage at the Kodak Theater almost became the most talked about event of the evening, since due to an unfortunate slip she was able to finish on the floor. Fortunately, it was nothing more than a small scare and the actress was able to continue with the ceremony showing her best smile.
20/36 oscar19Ben Stiller and his characterizations
Original costumes, fun dances, speeches that have left more than one speechless... During all these years, we have been able to see numerous actors showing their funniest facet on stage.

The most emotional moment of the gala that was held in 2009 took place when it was the turn of the category of best supporting actor.

And this goes for Spain and for all of you,' concluded the actor before the proud look of his mother, Pilar, who could not hold back her tears.

"I prefer that Kathryn take the prizes in the main categories, I already took with Titanic all the ones she longed for," Cameron confessed days before the gala
25/36 oscar25Angelina Jolie and her leg, the most commented
If there is an anecdote for which we will remember the 2012 Oscars, it is because of the furor caused by Angelina Jolie's leg on the red carpet. Arm in arm with her new partner, Brad Pitt, the actress left more than one speechless with this black design with a strapless neckline from the firm Atelier Versace. A creation that featured a wide slit in her skirt, exposing, perhaps somewhat exaggeratedly, her right leg. Since then almost all women who dress in a similar dress remember that occasion and it is said that they dress 'an Angelina'
26/36 oscar26The oldest actor to collect an Oscar
In 2012, Christopher Plummer, unforgettable in his role as Captain Von Trapp in Sound of Music, became the oldest performer to collect an Oscar. Upon taking the stage, the veteran actor, who was awarded best supporting actor for his role in Begginers in 2012, began his speech by looking the statuette in the face, to which he said: 'You are only two years older than me… Where have you been all my life?'
27/36 oscar27The youngest actress to be nominated
At just nine years old, Quvenzhané Wallis has been the youngest in history to achieve an Oscar nomination for best actress, in her case, for her performance in the film Beasts of the Southern Wild. Despite the fact that she could not win the award, little she conquered us all with her tenderness and her inseparable bag in the shape of a stuffed dog that accompanied her day and night during the Oscar edition last year. . 'I am happy, excited to be here. Although you never think something like that will happen at my age,' she confessed.

28/36 oscar28Michelle Obama's surprise
The First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama, gave the big surprise at the 85th Academy Awards gala, in which she intervened through a video to open the envelope and announce the award for best film, which went to argus.

"I congratulate all the nominees" for works that "made us laugh, cry, and actually taught us that love can fight anything and can transform our lives in the most amazing way." Therefore, she encouraged everyone, but especially the youngest, to have the "strength to believe" in themselves, whoever they are, and that daily effort is necessary to "achieve their dreams."
29/36 oscar29Jennifer Lawrence's stumble
Jennifer Lawerence's fall in her spectacular Dior dress when collecting her award for her role in The Good Side of Things, in 2013, captured not only magazine covers, but it was such an iconic and significant image that it was chosen by the signs as an advertising campaign and is already part of the anecdotes of the history of the Oscars. At just 23 years old, Jennifer became the youngest actress to be nominated four times for the coveted award: she was also in Winter's Bone (2010), The Great American Swindle (2014) and, in this 2016, by Joy
30/36oscar30Brad Pitt wins the Oscar as producer
Brad Pitt finally has an Oscar to his credit, however, and despite being one of the heavyweights of acting, the award came to him for his work as a producer. 12 Years a Slave was chosen the best film of the year 2014 and Brad Pitt took the Oscar and a passionate kiss from Angelina Jolie. The couple was one of the most elegant of the night
31/36 oscar31The most famous 'selfie' of the Oscars
'Cheese'. Thanks to this word, the actors smiled at the camera in one of the many selfies that were made in the stalls. The 'instigator' was Ellen DeGeneres who undoubtedly made everyone feel very comfortable in this group image. The presenter managed to gather Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Lawrence, Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep, Bradley Cooper, Lupita Nyong'o, among others, to pose for a photo that was shared on the presenter's Twitter account. In just one hour the photo was shared by more than two million people and the network collapsed. Ellen Degeneres undoubtedly gave funny moments at the ceremony
32/36oscar32The 'Jared Leto photobomb'
2015 was the year of the 'photobomb' and, although there is no such category among those raised, if there were, the award would have gone to Jared Leto. Always original and unafraid to attract attention, on this occasion he wore a gray suit and his long hair loose, the actor decided that the arrival of James W. Skotchdopole at one of the after parties with his award for best film for Birdman was a little bland. At this moment he must have thought: 'I'm going to give him some grace!' And he did. Surprise!
33/36dicaprio1The Oscar finally goes to Leonardo DiCaprio
2016 was the year of Leonardo DiCaprio. Finally, after five nominations, the actor collected the coveted statuette thanks to his role in the film 'The Revenant'.

34/36 gala-2017The historic error of the envelopes
If something marked the 2017 Oscars ceremony, it was the historic mistake that will go down in the annals of film history. Amid drum rolls we heard Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway pronounce the name 'La La Land' as the winner of the Oscar for best picture. The entire Damien Chazelle film crew burst into jubilation and took the stage to celebrate his big night, not knowing that the most famous thing would happen a few moments later when the producer of Chazelle's film, Jordan Horowitz, announced that the big winner was Moonlight. "There was an error with the cards," he shouted as he showed the winning envelope. In the midst of great confusion, the cast of 'La La Land' got off the stage when he had already picked up the Oscar for best film. This is the most notorious mistake in the history of the Oscars
35/36guillermo-del-toro-gtresThe triumph of Guillermo del Toro and 'The Shape of Water' in 2018
Two monsters were the great protagonists of the 90th edition of the Oscars. Guillermo del Toro's amphibian monster that falls in love with a mute cleaner and the entire audience in The Shape of Water, best film of the year, and another monster, human even though it may not seem so, whose name is Harvey Weinstein, accused of sexual abuse for almost a hundred women. The quintessential gala of world cinema has been predictable and vindictive. If this edition will be remembered for anything, it will be for being the most Mexican -the triumph of Coco and the film by Mexican director Guillermo del Toro- and for being the best loudspeaker for the Weinstein method to end once and for all with the movements # Time's Up and #MeToo.
