The 1st Academy Awards (Oscars) were presented on May 16, 1929, at a private dinner held at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. Tickets cost $5 and only 270 people attended to the event. The ceremony lasted only 15 minutes.

Unlike later events, the winners had been announced months prior to the ceremony. In some cases nominations were made without reference to a specific film. Unlike after ceremonies, awards could be granted to the nominees for multiple works within a year.
