Oscars: How One Nominee Found Herself at a Train Station on the Night of the 7th Awards Scott Feinberg Shirley Temple and Claudette Colbert at the 1934 Academy Awards.
Due to the ongoing pandemic, the 93rd Academy Awards on Sunday will take place with very few people in attendance just the nominees, their plus-ones and presenters at several “hubs” which have been set up around the world. The main one will be in downtown Los Angeles at Union Station.
It will be the smallest Oscars ceremony in decades, certainly since before the 16th Oscars, in 1944, when the Academy abandoned the banquet-style gatherings that it had held up to that point and moved to a large theater, Grauman’s Chinese Theatre. Ever since, at various venues around Los Angeles, thousands of people have attended the annual gathering.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo s Nest and 1991 s
The Silence of the Lambs, have done since.
Nobody had expected much from
It Happened One Night, including its stars. Gable had been sent by mighty MGM, where he was under contract, to lowly Columbia as a punishment, and Colbert, who had clashed with Capra on their 1927 collaboration
For the Love of Mike, had refused to do the film unless her salary was doubled and the film was completed in just four weeks.
The film, which was originally titled
Night Bus and was shot in 1933, during the depths of the Great Depression, centers on a spoiled heiress (Colbert) who runs away and is pursued first for a story, and eventually for love by a working-class newspaperman (Gable). Upon the film s completion, Colbert told a friend, I just finished the worst picture in the world.
