The 1st Academy Awards was held on May 16, 1929 in Los Angeles, California, USA, at the "Flower Room" of the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. Douglas Van Punk and William De Miller served as hosts. 15 golden statues were awarded. The award setting at that time was still in the exploratory stage, so it was somewhat different from the current one. However, the award for best picture has been the most important award in the awards show since the inception of the Oscar, the first award for the best picture of the Oscar. Won by "Wing" ("Iron Wing Hero").
"Wing" is a war romance film directed by William A. Wellman and starring Clara Bow , Charles Bud Rogers , Richard Allen and others. It was released in the United States on August 12, 1927. The film tells the story of the girl next door Mary and her secret love pilot Jack during the First World War. The two finally reaped love after all the twists and turns.
"Wings" expresses American-style heroism and truly reflects the memory and romance and enthusiasm of Western youth for the first World War that has just passed. It has a lively rhythm, full of high-spirited optimism, and full of music. With a high-spirited marching rhythm. In the plot, the play uses the story of four corners of love to form the main line of the narrative, using props, coincidences, misunderstandings, etc. to give the film a legendary and comedic character. It is not a war film, but a romantic film. The subtle four-corner relationship between the four young people is very common in popular dramas. The contradictions and conflicts of the film are smooth and natural, relaxed and humorous. Although small and far-fetched, it is not indiscriminate. As a silent film, most of the plots in the film are relatively large. Large body language or facial expressions are presented, which to a certain extent makes up for the inadequacy of silent films that cannot use the ups and downs of language and the voice itself to shape characters. Although in the 21st century, it is inevitable to have the feeling of stage pantomime, but it gives the audience Brings an artistic enjoyment that is different from that of a sound film." (Review of "Movie Reading·The Best Film Appraisal of a Hundred Years Oscar")
In 1929, although there were already sound films at the time, silent films were still the mainstream of the market due to the limitations of technical means and other factors. Therefore, the first Oscar-winning films were all silent films without exception, and many in the silent film era. The actors, because of the limitations of the sound and other conditions, and the exaggerated performance in silent films, could not continue to gain the recognition of the audience. With the arrival, Oscar officially entered the era of sound films.
