I’d say this photo is about as Hollywood as a Hollywood photo can be. A single, powerful searchlight shines a bright beam into the sky over the RKO Pantages Theatre on Hollywood Blvd as the hopeful and the notable arrive for the 22nd Academy Awards on March 23, 1950. This ceremony honored movies released in 1949, so it was the night Broderick Crawford won for “All the King’s Men,” Olivia de Havilland one for “The Heiress,” and “All the King’s Men” won Best Picture.
