The first Oscars were held in May 1929 at the Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles to celebrate the major achievements in Hollywood in 1927 and 1928. During that first ceremony, the awards for Best Actor and Best Actress went to Emil Jannings for ‘The Last Command’ and Janet Gaynor for her roles in ‘Seventh Heaven’, ‘The Fallen Angel,’ and ‘Breaking Dawn.’

Since those early days, many of Hollywood’s biggest stars have attended the gala, dreaming of holding up one of those golden statues. Daniel Day-Lewis has picked up the Oscar for Best Actor on a record three occasions (from six nominations), while Katherine Hepburn, nominated 12 times, leads the way in the Best Actress category with four wins.
