flashing the rank one step into a bold adventure the treasure map for martin clo. describe it as some of us wriggled, begging sites on youtube, and also the in 94 years of the academy awards. they've been hundreds of oscar winners. but 10 actually changed movie history. the american, the 1930s was sharply divided along racial lines. even in the mixed movie theaters, black people had to sit in the balcony. in the cheap seats. against this backdrop,

hollywood made go on with the wind. one of the most successful and controversial films of all time the oscars a year later, for a sensation, the floating room during 1939. the head of the 1940 academy. having to change between the 1st african american women, austin. that was hailed as a trying racist. i sincerely hope i shall always be a credit to my right. and to the motion picture industry. my heart is too full to, to just high for you. and may i say thank you. but even the ceremony was racially segregated. how do you, mcdaniel who plays mammy in the film one the best supporting actress award. but at the ceremony itself, she was not seated in the front of the room. she was seated in the back of the room

. black audiences then, and now criticised mcdaniel for her portrayal of mammy, which many said was a crude stereotype. i put a smiling face on the white supremacy. just found that the highest there's an all is still a lady with the way to g in front of folks. michael bird. and i name for you to go to mr. don robinson. i need like a joanna novel at all to the ago with a healthy appetite. it has um, as they are ro, it characters essentially a civil war soldiers from the south, from the confederacy and it defends a certain way of life. and miss knowledge isaac said, after going with the wind, mcdaniel was stereotyped herself. she played versions of mammy in dozens of other film. she was late or criticized in the black community for regularly accepting roles as domestic servants, and other kinds of you know,

not fully articulated characters. mcdaniel struck back in her critics saying, i'd rather play on me then be a me to remain a pioneer. she was the 1st black woman to sing on radio in the united states, and the 1st black coast of a national radio show. and as the 1st black oscar winter, she paved the way for a new generation of black performers in holding 2 years after having mcdaniels historic. when another pioneer made a masterpiece that would change the language of americans. with orson wells made citizen king, he was just $25.00 and had already revolutionized to our wells, had wild broadway with an old black adaptation of shakespeare's macbeth and his radio version of each the wells war. the world was so realistic,

it caused real world panic in the streets. for his hollywood debut, wells picked an epic tale of the rise and fall of newspaper magnate, charles foster kane. this one movie was enough to earn wells a place instead of my history. and the place of honor at the academy award museum in los angeles was well singular, artistic vision, citizen kane, change the sound, look, and feel of sense. when wells arrived in hollywood, he demanded complete creative control. he would be in charge of everything even cast himself in the starring role. playing came from 20 year old upstart to 80 something paranoid re clips. he's the writer, he's the star, he's the director. he's the producer. i know they, they the perfect puppet master. if you well, wells learned everything about moving, making well, making citizen can you borrowed heavily from german expressionist cinema using dark

shadows and forced perspective to comment on his characters and pioneered the use of deep focus where figures both close up and in the distance of a shot can be saved, clearly hello genet app. it's a compilation of a lot of really specific and fascinating techniques that come together in one film for the very, very 1st time. so in this way it's, it's kind of like a master class in synthesis of all of the highlights of, you know, the greatest of the dependent chrome 19 forties films and the greatest of the german expressionist cinema. coming together in the hands of this creative genius. but more than the style, the film wells as model for directors that came after him broke new ground. he wasn't shots of the film is i think that was the main achievement. we had some,

one was not a studio boss who's, who was in total control from production, but sometimes a creative creative will offer some kind of creative, kindly for ortho, with the stomach and, and the presence of, of all as well as i think in hindsight it's much more of that effect on the a special aesthetics of the field well spent the rest of his career trying and failing to gain that complete for you? well well struggle to fulfill his creative vision another filmmaker wrote a love story that broke the hollywood blackwood. the oscar for this romantic classic actually helped and america's red skin. red scale was costing the fear of communism in the usa. um,

although it was a very tiny section of people who and the communistic party of a mary call, even fellow travelers would never have never the position to gain any momentum and political relevance. in the 1950s. at the height of the cold war, hollywood came under attack towards the legend, communist leanings, right? when senator joseph mccarthy started claiming that hollywood was full of communist sympathizers, she started looking for communists and the family. she was a very easy place to find them because they were writing films and they were writing stories that could be construed as potentially propagandistic or in favor of communism. one target or group of writers and directors known as the hollywood tent, who refused to testify. the most famous of them will star screenwriter don't trump because they refused to answer the questions of the committee. and they refused to

name names of other people that they knew of who had potentially been in some kind of communist meetings. but they were blacklisted. there were protests, but the hollywood, 10 got jail time. their studios fired. 10 of the more than $300.00 actors, writers and directors. on the hollywood blacklist. dalton trumbull continued to write didn't secret. giving other writers credit for his screen blaze. for the screen play of roman holiday, the name on the credit was ian mckellen hunter, trumbull references this deception in a classic scene from the fil. a most of truth bytes. the hands of lightens, the 1954 from both screenplay won the oscar. it was the 1st blow against the hollywood, blacklist 6 years later, trumbull wrote the script for spartacus,

under his own name. this broke the down. this allowed a lot of other previously blacklisted performers and writers to come back. but not everybody. many of them had very tragic ends. many of them never worked again. the, the real and of hollywood. censorship would come late. thanks in part to an x rated film, the one the oscar for best picture. the seems like this were why midnight cowboy was so controversial, john folk as hustler, joe buck, giving oral sex from a man. and a point. for decades, hollywood had kept sex of all kinds out of the movies. thanks to the haze code self censorship system requiring all films to fulfill certain moral obligations. if you would take it seriously nowadays, no fear them would have a nice thought. for instance you, you shouldn't swear or you shouldn't show let's,

let's clear. so no one unity at all. homosexuality was strictly forbid coming under the band category of wrong doing evil or sense. essentially after the hays code came into effect, there really wasn't any depiction of homosexuality. they gotta have some time in the cowboy was one of the 1st movies made after the hays code was abandoned in 1968 . the film doesn't make it to him, a sexuality explicit, but many read the relationship between joe buck and his pin rizzo. as queer, i know enough to know that i have right. been done cardboard crap. i don't appeal to nobody's except every jump being 42nd street. that's fine. good stuff. you want a quote by explaining that strictly book bags. john lane, you all tell me is a fag a month after the film open, there was a stone wall rice,

which kick started the gay liberation. the not everyone got the memo. midnight cowboy lost the best actor, raise to public home of old john wayne. the next oscar winner didn't just shake up all the we conventions. he blew them away. the the 1995 oscars was a showdown between 2 iconic american movies. both had me mobile. last one was a $60000000.00 feel good studio movie about the american dream. my mom always said life was like a box of chocolates. you never know what you're going to get. oh he is to the other a violent in the film made for less than $10000000.00. and i will strike down upon

thee with great vengeance and furious anger. those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. and you will know mine day. oh, yeah, i lay my vengeance upon the the, the 1st is a very american movie both in like the themes, the way that it looks like it's very traditional to feel that. so and pulp fiction is is uh, just like brash and crazy and just turnkey knows. my health section got 7 oscar nomination. forrest gump got 13 on the big night. the 1st oscar went to pulp fiction. i think this probably the only award i'm going to wind here tonight. so i was trying to think maybe i should just say a whole lot of stuff right here. right now just get it on my system. but i think the oscar go the rest of the night belong to forrest gump,

forrest forrest gump yes, but it was post fiction not for is gone, which inspires the generation. the filmmakers in america and around the world directors copies parenting those combination of slick dialogue and violent action pop culture references and a mash up approach to story. i definitely think that position has been really influential not just in terms of like directorial style the anesthetic, but. busy so, and storytelling and attention to detail and, and that this kind of like um throwing whatever at the audience and not necessarily having to create a linear narrative that happens and react on next winner broke a shameful eating you. oscar tradition. the

2010 oscars was david versus goliath, the champion avatar, the highest grossing film of all time, the challenger, the hurt locker, a low budget war movie. it was a showdown between heart locker director catherine bigelow. and our ex husband added our director james cameron. plus there was this big gender again in 80 years, the oscars had nominated 400 filmmakers as best director. only 3 had been women, and none had ever want the. you'd have people like jane campion nominated for the piano. you have lena work molar, you know, nominated very late in her career back in 1975. so the a couple are nominated. you know, the fact that i can say them all in about 10 seconds is not good enough, but big lose take on the very masculine jaundra of the warfield instructor course with the academy. the heart locker is a nail biting action thriller that is also anti war and anti cons

at $16.00 oscars, including best director for katherine diggler. it was really quite radical that she won at the time and for a war picture and for a very small war picture that really had a very, you know, limited box office success. i sort of loved that she won while beating her ex husband james cameron's. i felt that was sort of delicious. after big a lot of chloe, joe, one best director in 2021. jane campion in 2022. in the space of just i think um you know, a little more than a decade looking at 3 women directors winning best director after none have has one before. but that's huge. but let's not get too excited. a recent study found women directed just 9 percent of the top grossing films of 2022. there was an even bigger oscar surprise, a few years later with an on stage drama that made history. the

vehicle to me. award. for best picture lola. there's a mistake, the blue light, you guys, one best picture was in the early times news room and it was, it was shocking. it was really, it was horrifying. it was truly stopped the presence moment of the academy awards from the past several years. the mix up was high 1st but took away from the big story of the night. what's your numerator? the 1st black l g b t t plus film to with an awesome night. thank you so much. that was really incredibly exciting for me. you know, i like because it was a song that i watched, and i talked about with my friends and my peers and that it was, it, it was a film that everyone that i knew, you know,

to michael who it was like really excited about 2 years before moonlight activist, april rain started at the oscars. so white campaign protesting how ethnic minorities were being shut out of the academy awards. for the 2015 oscars every single actor nominated was white. that is not good enough. you know, if, if you're saying that the best 20 performers of the year are all white, maybe you're not looking at the spread of films you should be looking at. you trying to do smile in the moonlight was everything oscar? so white has been calling for a fully realized black l g b t q plus story that brought marginalized voices to the main street. the i think one of the things that is really important bhaskar. so why? and i think one thing that it did to help move light is that i think sometimes

articulating the problem, makes it harder to ignore. in 2017, a record breaking by black filmmakers. one oscars, and under pressure from rain and black directors, the oscar academy has added hundreds of new non white members. hash tag oscars. not quite. so while the 2 years after moonlight, the oscar has stopped being lubbock. and learned to lot stream the the oscar is used to hate that st. since the start of netflix, oscar voters have been trying to keep streaming films out of the academy awards. the 1st netflix original film, the sub no nation was a critical hit but got dumped by the academy with no nominations. the reason is month found another critical save got for oscar nominations,

but one not the a large part of that resistance had to do with just like skepticism was like what netflix could create, you know, could it could have be prestigious, is it up to the standard of excellence and i also think it is borrows a bit from just like a general anxiety between tradition like between like traditional institutions and the internet. you know, the sense that anything that originates online is of less or quality than anything that came from like the like the traditional forms of a culture of production. then came rome. everything about our phones are quite rolands, netflix, moving the black and white cinematography, the long tracking shots, wide screen images screen, send them even netflix haters loved the vios. got going to do

on the big nice romo. $13.00 oscars, including best director, or alfonso inquiring just 4 years later, apple tvs coda, another online, 1st movie, one best picture. the oscars had learned to love streaming. what roma did for streaming our next oscar when or did for african cultures in holding the i. so no, but do do, do you really did the black paint before black panther african cultures were almost invisible at the oscars. and the aster goes to black panther. by the time costume designer, ruth carter one her oscar, she'd spent

a lifetime celebrating african her good. that the my whole entire life had been a journey and recreating hit black history. um and, and presenting um the culture of black americans is of the african diaspora. and black panther specifically was a combination of everything that i had done my entire career and kind of work with director spike lee taking inspiration from black styles past and present to design costumes for films like malcolm x and do the right thing. well, i came from a family that was always very much in to, you know, black nationalism and really kind of knowing a bit about your, your heritage. and, but it was a very big, broad,

general knowledge. so what black cancer allow me to do was really take a deeper dive into the hamper tried whether to our reg, it was north africa. well, the south africa, you know, and we actually were inspired by them to create these tissues of groups and what caused the black panther wasn't fused with real african traditions. queen ramon, those crown was modeled on a zulu headdress, the red armor and spears of the messiah tribes inspired the cautions for female warriors the door. i'm a logic. princess sir, is stack neck rings come from the ceremonial jewelry. as in the follow tribe of south africa, black panther also drew from africa, futurism and art movement that imagines what african cultures could become. it freed from the history of colonialism. i think when black panther came out, there was a real sensibility already of um like

a pan african dias for it kind of popularity like there was already that was already in the pop culture like i was already being celebrated and a lot of ways black panther became one of the most successful movies of all time. when i started in late eighty's early ninety's, i felt like, you know, they weren't giving budgets to black films because they didn't feel that they were making the box office. so i think this proved that whole concept, brian, we've never proven hollywood wrong. you know so much says black panther, our final oscar winter approved hollywood wrong about the oldest tradition at the academy of the there been best picture winters set in morocco, sat in rome and even set in china. but for 91 years,

every single one wasn't being filmmakers who changed the language just sent them. like say legal funding and a key code a saw him are bergmann or yes, a google or she never one oscar stop cry. their native language was too big. i heard it took a korean film to make the oscars truly go below bong june. holmes parasite. and the oscar goes to paris. really language to to when the best picture it was a shock to me and i think it's a brilliant shop. the in parasite bomb june home took a very korean story about 2 families, one for one rich. and they're mutually parasitic relationship and told up with the

style listed a palm of acquitting parents you know, or an alfred hitchcock to beat hollywood at its own game. the queen, this film made more than 53000000 up the us box office, more than 263000000 worldwide. what a success story and i hope i hope it keeps people's minds open to. what is the oscar? what is the best picture of the year? it's not necessarily who the studios are telling you. with parasites, the oscars finally opened up the whole wide world of center. * it just made me so happy. i mean, it was the 1st time in 192 years. i think it was that a non english language film had one. it's been this long past parasite was the one that made it happen. i think we should see the parasite when not as something weird, one off, not as an outlier, but as you know, a potential like a beacon,

a harbinger of what could still happen. 94 years into the academy awards. and the oscars are just starting to tap their global potential. the, the, the
