And until the late '60s, the Oscars were _still_ on radio, especially in Alaska and Hawaii where they listened to them live (the telecasts wouldn't be seen there for up to *three weeks!* ).
This is so interesting when you compare it to the Oscars today. This era shown in this video feels not only like a different time, but also a lot like a different world.
Because it still had mystery. nowdays, everyone wants to tell the world , everything! This is really , a great clip. I loves how people seemed to have pride in how they presented themselves .
The classiness of this era is probably the best opening speech ever, well done Bob Hope great speech a ground breaker!!!!! funny as we'll ever get to listen to you!!!!!
This monologue is STILL as funny in 2024 as it was 71 years previous (if you understand the context). Bob Hope was (and continues to be post mortem) one of the comedic greats. Period.
@@clarksono1634 The term racism is casually and lazily tossed around without any thought, but merely to demonise and cancel an individual or individuals. The frequent use of the word racism, so often used by the ultra left wing members of the Democratic Party, has the intended and deliberate aim to take the high moral ground as well as cancel and abort any rational discussion. Too often in debate between two people with different viewpoints, the word racism is often used as a tactical weapon thrown against the other person to smear and label. Indeed, I would go further, by the constant use of the word racist by the left to denigrate an opponent with a different view, cheapens the word and renders it meaningless. The result? Rational discussion becomes impossible. Sadly, too many on the left of politics see and judge every issue through the prism of racism. The reason why so many Democratic Party members and politicians engage in such moral posturing is to ensure that they can rely on the non white vote.
@@geoffm9944 Its bigotry, not racism. A sign of the times. Then, and now. The word "gay" meant happy, in '53. Now, it is used as a vehicle to show intolerance.
@@ikarooz I’m against labelling anyone because it’s not just puerile, but is often designed to ‘smear’ and demonise an opponent. Labels allow us to paint others into a box where we can then apply our preconceived notions to them, hence pigeon hole them in a derogatory way. The moment when someone attaches to you to a philosophy or a movement, then they assign all the baggage and all the rest of the philosophy that goes with it to you. And when you want to have a conversation, they will assert that they already know everything important there is to know about you because of that association and that's not the way to have a conversation. Labeling is corrosive since any serious dialogue of ideas is rendered useless, and hence conversation can descend into a slanging match. Accusations of being “racist” may be false, but the mere accusation presents the public with the question of whether the accused may, indeed, be racist. The problem with an opponent calling them racist is that any civilised conversation becomes inflammatory, indeed, it’s like throwing petrol onto a fire. Furthermore, the one that has been labelled as racist has had his character tarnished and his credibility undermined as many people still follow the mantra: ‘there’s no smoke without fire.’ Sadly, all political discourse has become polarised and so like some kind of gladiatorial contest, the voters take sides and just like Ancient Rome, shouting takes place as the public cheer their hero. We now have TV stations that are either totally supportive of the Democratic Party, such as MSNBC and CNN, who are nothing more than echo chambers, as all the guests agree with other. They constantly verbally abuse members of the Republican Party. Likewise, Fox News presents the news with studios full of guests affirming their conservative views and denouncing and denigrating the democrats. Both political parties and their respective TV which support them, close their ears to any alternative viewpoints. This situation where everyone talks but no one listens means that we are heading for serious trouble.
Bob Hope was an extraordinarily talented performer and comedian, as evidenced by his appearances on the Oscar shows. For those who only know his later work in the 70s and 80s, it is a revelation to watch him in the Hope/Crosby Road pictures of the 40s and his work in The Seven Little Foys, with a masterful portrayal of Eddie Foy and a wonderful dance sequence with Jimmy Cagney as Cohan.
the first time it was ever said..and it's still said today.........."television..where movies go when they die" absoluely classic, noone back then knew that, THAT one line..would live almost 70 years later and still be used today
Thank you for this! As someone who has dropped everything to watch the Oscars every year since 1989, it is so much fun to see the very first televised broadcast.
+LysolPionex On camera people looked classy, but look outside of the camera and you'll probably see people dressed much more casually. Back then, being filmed or photographed was an event. The reality obviously wouldn't have been as pretty as it appeared on film. Just think of all of the racism and bigotry that existed in that era. Or hell, given how common it was to smoke, think of the way people probably smelled.
@@unprocessed_life Blatant racism is not very different from our own era's more subtle forms of discrimination. Drugs are even worse now. While we do have much better conditions overall nowadays, using negative aspects that also exist today to undermine a bygone era doesnt really work when we're probably even worse now in dozens of aspects.
That's when Hollywood was Hollywood! So much class, plus back then you couldn't buy a Star on the Walk of Fame, you had to earn it with your talent. The stars were elegant~ Yes there has been change :-)
@@mooskanate I'd really like to know how Toby Wing got a Star on the Walk of Fame. Busby Berkeley said in one book she can't sing, can't dance or act. Only appeared in a few movies.
Bob Hope was truly the best emcee of these award shows. He is what a comedian should be. Very funny and clever and not at all crude. People who don't think he is funny don't think! They don't know what funny really is. He was successful on stage and radio and tv and movies etc. Bob Hope was/is the true king of all media.
Yeah, he certainly was love or hate him. but the man's verbal delivery was nearly impeccable. no oscar host before or after could really matched him as a host.
This is totally different and more classy than the ceremonies today especially considering what happened with Will Smith and Chris Rock at the 2022 oscars.
This is awesome! Thank you for this video! Bob Hope was the best host of the Oscars History. In second place comes Billy Criytal and Whoopi Goldberg in third. I love the History of the Academy Awards, the winners, nominees, movies, Oscar moments, curiosities... I watch every single year live from TV since the red carpet until the ceremony. Here in Brazil usually the ceremony ends 2 in the morning. I can't wait to the Oscar Centenary in 2028.
That dapper president of the Academy who opened the show, Charles Brackett, was the screen writer for Sunset Boulevard. When Gloria Swanson compared him to Director Billy Wilder, she said Brackett was "the refined one". Indeed. He looks like he could have worked on the set of some 1920's era silent film about "the swells" having a party at a mansion. Brackett, from a Mayflower WASP family and Billy Wilder, an Austrian Jewish immigrant from modest means. Now that's a Hollywood Odd Couple.
I thank the people monitoring for sharing all of the videos uploaded to the account. I am partially sad that many (if not all) individuals displayed in the footage have departed from this Earth. If possible, I want to give my thanks to the people who recorded the awards show.
I was at the NY based Museum of Broadcasting and how the good fortune of seeing the entire telecast. Amazing, and for a Oscar buff, a wow. Janet Gaynor presented Best Actor. Ronald Colman best Actress. And while High Noon was a favorite, in a remarkable Oscar moment, Mary Pickford read the Best Picture nominees and presented the award to ... Cecil B. DeMille (his first). Also about two dozen former winners were introduced, Oscars in hand. Lots of fun.
@@Mommascooking420 If you are saying that it is less classy now because of the end of segregation... No... "wokeness' is what makes things less classy. Look at Denzel Washington for example. He is a black man... but I have never heard any kind of scandal involving him that I can recall. And if he was... it was quickly moved on from and not held over his head the rest of his life/career. Of course the likes of Bob Hope, John Wayne, Cary Grant, Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren and all of the Golden Age Hollywood legends had their own opinions about everything. Just like ANY human does. But they kept it to themselves in instances like this and did not try to preach and push their beliefs and ideologies onto others just because they thought that their celebrity status entitled them to do so. The simply went to the awards, graciously accepted if they won, and humbly thanked the people who they felt helped them get it and that was that.
It's insane being a child seeing this for the first time, now today, 70 years later, being able to see the world change from when I was a young 20 something to today.
I was 2 years old in 1953 .. Did not get a TV until 1961 , a telephone until 1963 ,indoor plumbing until 1965 .. don't miss the water well or the outhouse one bit
These were the years of dual broadcasts from LA and NY. Award’s would switch back and forth depending on which coast the winner was. The reason was many nominees had committed to star in Broadway plays. The NY segment was broadcast from the long gone NBC studio in Columbus circle. You can see it in the film It Should Happen To You when Judy Holiday and Peter Lawford go around the circle. The dual broadcasts ran from 1953 to 1957.
The great Mr. Hope is one of the best actors EVER and the best Oscar host of all time, imo. But Lewis comes Close! They are botth sooo funny! :D Nobody will EVER be like them.
Sometimes I think I was born in the wrong decade. I know there wasn't all the things we have today,there was so much poors people (in my country,Italy) but there was so much class,the Hollywood of that time was just...perfect ❤
we have truly progressed for the past 63 years, Not that this was bad, I just feel like they played too much by the rules back then, no music number or anything, but I have to say people were a lot classier
+Eric Adrien They were all full of glamour, glitz, and glitter while the closet gays, communists, and blacks were hidden underground and not accepted. Today it's the same pretentiousness but with more loquacity, greed, materialism, and bling.

+Blacksand459 really lol, Better than Dustin Hoffman, Daniel day Lewis, Morgan freeman etc etc. Of course, when I speak of today, I mean realism and method acting. There's just no comparison.
The joke writing was just so much better in this Oscar era than it is in the current Oscars. At least that's what my funny bone tells me. Maybe it's because Bob Hope had such great writers.
And my favorite picture for the year I was born. The theme music another terrific element to a major entertainment (still holds up, even Lana Turner was pretty good).

Before 1953, you had to listen to the Oscars on the radio like it was a baseball game.
And until the late '60s, the Oscars were _still_ on radio, especially in Alaska and Hawaii where they listened to them live (the telecasts wouldn't be seen there for up to *three weeks!* ).
Here is 1952 ruclips.net/video/VBahEJXUCnI/видео.html
had to ?
I didn't know and realized that it was in radio station!
leafyutube yeah I was there
This is so interesting when you compare it to the Oscars today. This era shown in this video feels not only like a different time, but also a lot like a different world.
Today the oscars are rigged, political and it's all about fashion and whos who
I love the Golden age Hollywood ways!!

@@unprocessed_life It was then too. Just not as obviously.
It was a different world. Not perfect with a lot of issues but Hollywood had class.
it's funny how they spoke about television the same way we speak about internet today "you don't have to go outside for anything"
TV was Amazing in 1946!
"Televisión, that's where movies go when they die" - Bob Hope (GENIUS)
you don't think HE wrote that do you?
@@MrDaiseymay Case in point when he said in 1966, "I'm caught with my idiot cards down!".
So true, even today
It was back then in the 50s the first crisis of cinema. There were real fears of the film industry that tv would ruin cinema
...from 1960, when he won the Jean Hersholt humanitarian award: "...I don't know what to say; I don't have writers for this kind of work." Priceless.
Who's also an old lost soul trying to find where they belong?
That's Ronald Reagan narrating the intro
Omg he is 😳
Thanks - I was trying to figure that out. The voice sounded familiar.
Before he became President he was an Actor.
Bob Hope lived to be 100 years old!
Joe Louis was 137 years old when he fought Rocky Marciano!
he had lived half his life during this hosting
...and he hosted the Oscars for 95 of those years!
Good for him !!
The classiness of this era is probably the best opening speech ever, well done Bob Hope great speech a ground breaker!!!!! funny as we'll ever get to listen to you!!!!!

The Pantages Theater and the Frolic Room bar next to it have been there since the 1940s.
Three-piece tuxes with tails and white bow ties. Those were the days.
Bob Hope was slick and sharp - great entertainer!! Btw haven't seen B&W tv for years.. took me back to my childhood...
Great to see Mr. Hope kicking things off in '53 ...fantastic!! 🌟🌠
I was only a 20 minute car ride away.
Back then I could have played an infant better than anyone in the audience.
'And keep your eyes on the losers tonight as they applaud the winners. You'll see great understanding, great sportsmanship - great acting.'

It’s night and day comparing the Oscar’s from then to now

Bob Hope, this is the second time I am hearing this name. First was in Friends and now this.
5:59 "it's a gay handsome crowd here tonight". Bob had no idea how true those words were.
Presented by the actor who I believe had the most splendid voice in film (and ironically started in silents!) ... Ronald Colman.

Shirley Booth [Come Back, Little Sheba], Bette Davis [The Star], Joan Crawford [Sudden Fear], and Julie Harris [The Member of the Wedding]...and the winner in
New York - Shirley Booth.
Thank you!
At least our generation has the most talented actors.
+Blacksand459 really lol, Better than Dustin Hoffman, Daniel day Lewis, Morgan freeman etc etc. Of course, when I speak of today, I mean realism and method acting. There's just no comparison.
Television. That's where movies go when they die.
Back when you had to be somebody to win an Oscar.
Candice Berryhill shut up dumb ass

A video from 1953 where they talk about nostalgia 🤯
Prophetic stuff!
3:49 I laughed so hard on that joke 🤣
The joke writing was just so much better in this Oscar era than it is in the current Oscars. At least that's what my funny bone tells me. Maybe it's because Bob Hope had such great writers.
+Oscars PLEASE SHOW MORE OLD OSCAR VIDEOS AND LESS NEW OSCAR VIDEOS PLEASE!;)
The Greatest long history of Legend Bob Hope who host the first OSCARS in 1953. Images may be found on Wikipedia, you know. #flashbackfriday
Classy!
That’s when everybody watched the Academy Awards!!
Except very few households had TVs in 1953
I love that gay, handsome crowd!
And my favorite picture for the year I was born. The theme music another terrific element to a major entertainment (still holds up, even Lana Turner was pretty good).
Can you imagine someone walking up and hitting Bob Hope here?
Only if it were Milton Berle.
awesome
This reminds me of QTs streamer awards show now.
