The Academy Awards have been a source of iconic cultural moments and Hollywood glamour since they began in 1929. The awards are more than a ceremony and often reflect and amplify the political, economic, and social issues of the time.  Season 1 of The Academy Museum Podcast, “And The Oscar Goes To…”  explores the stories behind significant years of the Oscars -- the wins, the surprises, and how the ceremonies impacted and reflected social and cultural movements. In each episode, film scholar Jacqueline Stewart interviews Hollywood stars, industry leaders, artisans, activists, and scholars and discusses the moments when history was made, and society was changed forever. The show is an ​extension of Academy Museum exhibitions and​ programs and is a co-production with LAist Studios. Academy Museum digital engagement platforms, including this podcast, are sponsored by Bloomberg Philanthropies Support for this podcast is made possible by Gordon and Dona Crawford, who believe that quality journalism makes Los Angeles a better place to live. This program is made possible in part by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, a private corporation funded by the American people.
