1954
30 Marzo 1955 RKO Pantages Theatre
presenta Bob Hope da Hollywood, Thelma Ritter da New York
Collegamento televisivo con la NBC

Commento

Al RKO Pantages Theatre di Hollywood arrivano le super-star, è il 30 marzo 1955, il primo è Marlon Brando in smoking accompagnato dall’agente, la segretaria, la zia e il padre, poi Rod Steiger al fianco di Kathy Jurado con abito Dior. Poi Humphrey Bogart e consorte Lauren Bacall con collana di diamanti e Grace Kelly con superbo abito satin azzurro e un lungo soprabito. Bing Crosby arrivò in frac, Judy Garland accolse la TV in ospedale perché aveva appena partorito, Bob Hope presentò in parallelo la sua collega da New York, Thelma Ritter.
Grace Kelly premia subito Walt Disney per miglior documentario, mentre Brando sputò la gomma che masticava dall’inizio della serata, quando Bette Davis, in abiti aggressivi con scarpe e vestito nero scollato e una sorta di elmetto ingioiellato, lo proclamò vincitore come miglior attore. “Non avrei mai pensato che la mia felicità potesse dipendere da tante persone” esclamò, facendo sì che “Fronte del porto” vincesse tante statuette quante “Via col vento” e “Da qui all’eternità”.
