The first Oscars ceremony was held on May 19, 1929, in the Blossom Room of the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel--now completely refurbished and serving as headquarters for this year’s Hollywood Centennial celebration as well as Sunday night’s anti-Oscars, the Golden Raspberry Awards. “Howard the Duck” and “Under the Cherry Moon” tied for the uncoveted worst-picture Razzie award.
