The 25th Academy Awards


 The 25th Academy Awards were held on March 19, 1953, at the RKO Pantages Theatre in Hollywood, and the NBC International Theatre in New York City, to honor the films of 1952. It was the first Oscars ceremony to be televised, the first ceremony to be held in Hollywood and New York simultaneously, and the only year in which the New York ceremonies were held in the NBC International Theatre on Columbus Circle, which was shortly thereafter demolished and replaced by the New York Coliseum.

This ceremony was the first to be broadcast on television; the Academy, long resistant of television, paid NBC $100,000 to televise the event.
"The Greatest Show on Earth" Cecil B. De Mille Paramount Pictures won for Best Picture over "High Noon" Stanley Kramer United Artists, "Ivanhoe" Pandro S. Berman MGM, "Moulin Rouge" John Huston United Artists, "The Quiet Man" John Ford and Merian C. Cooper Republic Pictures.
John Ford did win Best Director for "The Quiet Man" over Joseph L. Mankiewicz "Five Fingers", Cecil B. DeMille "The Greatest Show on Earth", Fred Zinnemann "High Noon", and John Huston "Moulin Rouge".
Gary Cooper won Best Actor for portraying Marshall Will Kane in "High Noon" over Marlon Brando in "Viva Zapata!", Kirk Douglas "The Bad and the Beautiful", Jose Ferrer "Moulin Rouge", and Alec Guiness "The Lavender Hill Mob".
