==Events==
Another day. Another ceremony at the Pantages with Bob Hope in Hollywood, but this time he's joined by Thelma Ritter hosting in New York. Here's an interesting note: Judy Garland who got nominated for her performance in A Star Is Born was pregnant and so NBC had everything set up in case she won, unfortunately for Judy the award instead went to Grace Kelly. The Gate Of Hell won a special foreign language film. 5 honorary oscars have been given. One for Kemp R. Niver for the Renovare Process that helped restore paper film, one for Greta Garbo for her acting, one to Danny Kaye for his talent and services to the industry, and  Jon Whitley and Vincent Waller won Juvenile oscars for their performances in the The Little Kidnappers while Paramount Pictures received the Scientific and Technical Award for VistaVision.
