This weekend will bring us the 85th annual Academy Awards ceremony hosted by Seth MacFarlane.
The AFI Conservatory library currently has an Oscar on display in its reading room. The award was presented to Warren Newcombe for his work on GREEN DOLPHIN STREET in 1947. We thought that we should share a picture of it in honor of the event, and we wish all the nominees and participants good luck.
