History
Beginning with the 1st Academy Awards, there were no Oscar pre-shows. Instead, photographers and interviewers would approach the ceremonys nominees and other attendees as usual. However, these events were neither televised nor heard on the radio prior to the ceremony. In 1979, Regis Philbin officially began the red carpet pre-show, and it has followed every year since. ABC, the current official broadcaster of the Oscar ceremony, also airs the Oscar pre-show.

Secondly and consequently, a re-examination is needed of phrases like the two which I discuss, ‘being a part of the meaning of’ and ‘having the same meaning.’ On these matters, dogmatists require prodding: although history indeed suggests that it may sometimes be better to let sleeping dogmatists lie.”
—J.L. (John Langshaw)
“These anyway might think it was important
That human history should not be shortened.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
