These top ten are clearly the greatest moments of the Oscars, moments that stay with us long after we have perhaps forgotten who even won the Oscars that year. So here's to the best ...
Academy Memborable Moment Number 10
From 1997 -- the on stage gathering of 70 of the past acting Oscar winners. In celebration of its 70th anniversary, the Academy invited back all of the individuals who had won Leading or Supporting Acting awards throughout the Academy's history, and then brought them all out on stage at once. 70 of them showed up, ranging from the most recent winners to some of the oldest -- Luise Rainier, winner of two Oscars back to back in the 30's, Shirley Temple Black was there and ended up receiving the biggest applause.
As the camera panned by each one and the announcer introduced each one, old film footage showed the film they won for and the moment they were on stage claiming their Oscar. It was a very nostalgic moment, but as you watched them, you realized that so many great legends were not there, and it hit home even more just how much Hollywood is completely moving away from the golden days of Hollywood, as we have nearly lost all of the true legends of cinema.
Academy Memborable Moment Number 9
From 1980 -- Henry Fonda accepting his Honorary Oscar, one year before he would win Best Actor. He was 75 years old, and amazingly enough, he had also never won an Oscar. So in 1980, the Academy voted him an Honorary Oscar, and the legendary actor hobbled on stage with a cane to accept the award. It was simply amazing to see one of the true greats of old Hollywood on Oscar's stage that night.
Academy Memborable Moment Number 8
From 1958 -- Ingrid Bergman's first public appearance in Hollywood since 1949. One of the brightest and most beautiful actresses of the golden age of Hollywood had to be Ingrid Bergman. She had left Hollywood completely after making such incredible films like Casablanca. And in 1958, Cary Grant introduced her as the presenter of the Best Picture Oscar, and seeing her on Oscar's stage again was truly magnificent.
