Ich kenn keinen der Namen, ist immerhin schon 80 Jahre her... der Oscar wird langsam alt!

Nun die erste Oscar Verleihung fand auch mehr oder weniger unter Ausschluss der Öffentlichkeit statt. Der Glamour und das Prestige hat sich erst später verfestigt.

Man darf auch nicht vergessen, 1929 war das Kino gerade den Babyschuhen entwachsen und war immer noch sehr der Mimik des Stummfilms verbunden.

Hervorzuheben; der erste Oscar für einen Schauspieler ging an einen Deutschen. Diese waren damals mit führend in der Erstellung von Filmen.

Vielleicht wird das keinen interessieren, aber Emil Jannings hat im "Blauen Engel" mitgespielt, den Film, der Marlene Dietrich bekannt machte.

Und damit ihr Euch ein Bild machen könnt;

ein film von 1928 !!!
