Thanks to my friend Buck Benny he has posted the ABC radio broadcast of the first post war Oscars and it is great to hear all the legends receive their awards and to hear Bob Hope do what he did best, host the show and make the world laugh at itself.
The big winner of the night was the classic "Lost Weekend" which won Best Picture, Best Director for Billy Wilder and Best Actor for Ray Milland
I have also include a clip from the newsreel coverage of the event.
