1953年3月19日,Academy Awards(奧斯卡金像獎)首次透過電視向觀眾直播。

當年的頒獎典禮為第25屆奧斯卡,由 NBC 電視網在美國及加拿大播出。在此之前,奧斯卡頒獎禮主要只有現場嘉賓能夠參與,或透過電台收聽。

電視直播令觀眾人數大幅增加,數百萬家庭可以在家中觀看荷里活年度盛事,讓奧斯卡逐漸發展成為全球矚目的娛樂活動。

這次直播不僅改變了奧斯卡的傳播方式,也反映了1950年代電視媒體快速普及的時代背景。大型活動透過電視現場轉播,逐漸成為現代娛樂文化的重要形式。

如今,奧斯卡仍然是全球最具影響力的電影頒獎典禮之一,而這個電視直播的傳統,正是從1953年3月19日開始。


English Article Version

On March 19, 1953, the Academy Awards were televised for the first time.

The ceremony, known as the 25th Academy Awards, was broadcast by NBC across the United States and Canada. Before this moment, the Oscars had only been experienced by attendees in the theater or through radio broadcasts.

Televising the ceremony dramatically expanded its audience. Millions of viewers could now watch Hollywood’s biggest night from their homes, transforming the Oscars into a global entertainment event.

The broadcast marked a turning point not only for the Academy Awards but also for television itself. As TV ownership rapidly increased in the 1950s, live broadcasts of major cultural events helped shape modern entertainment media.

Today, the Academy Awards remain one of the most widely watched film award ceremonies in the world — a tradition of televised celebration that began on March 19, 1953.
