A Look At Oscar Winning Songs – Virtual Program
A Look At Oscar Winning Songs
Friday, February 28, 2025
2:00 – 3:00 PM via Zoom
Since 1934 the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) has recognized one song written specifically for film released during the previous calendar year as worthy of an “Oscar.” Past winners have included such wonderful numbers as “Moon River,” “It Might As Well Be Spring,” “All the Way” and “Over the Rainbow.” Enjoy archival video clips of the actual presenters and recipients for over a dozen of these classic songs as well as experience many of the original artists’ renditions as they were first introduced to movie audiences.
Led by Rich Knox, a retired school teacher and administrator, who lectures on musicals, films, and opera to libraries across the country.
Sponsored by the Tewksbury Friends of the Library and a collaboration of public libraries.
