Commento

Hollywood è in lutto, il produttore, vincitore del precedente anno, e marito della Taylor, Michael Todd è morto in un incidente aereo pochi giorni prima della cerimonia.
Il 26 marzo 1958 si festeggia sì, ma a malincuore, così lo spettacolo deve andare avanti, molte star, alcune in ritardo come Marlon Brando, arrivato 1 ora prima da New York, è costretto a vestirsi in limousine con uno sfavillante smoking, Joan Woodward impiegò ben 7 ore per tingersi da sola i capelli da biondi a rossi contro il volere del marito Paul Newman. Lana Turner appena tornata da Acapulco è accompagnata dal nuovo fidanzato e dalla figlia, ma perde un tacco ed è costretta a zoppicare in passerella.
Presentano James Stewart, Bob Hope, Rosalin Russell, David Niven, Jack Lemmonn ed inizia la cerimonia, con Rock Hudson e Mea West che cantano “Baby, It’s Could Outsider”, mentre ha inizio una raffica di Oscar tra cui quello all’attrice non protagonista Miyoshi Umeki, una giapponese con kimono. Ancora una volta un misterioso scrittore, Pierre Boulle, vince l’Oscar per miglior sceneggiatura, ma bisogna aspettare anni prima di capire che sotto quel nome c’erano Carl Foreman e Michael Wilson (finiti sulla lista nera del maccartismo). Federico Fellini perde con “I vitelloni”, ma vince per “Le notti di Cabiria”. Sofia Loren è emozionata quando sale sul palco ed è inevitabile qualche gaf, ma la “Colonel Bogey March” risuona in sala ed “Il ponte sul fiume Kawai” ha ormai sbancato!
