RARE academy awards special from 1976!

TVTV looks at the Academy Awards. WATCH Dinah Manoff in pigtails as she helps tailor Lee Grant's wedding dress! WATCH Steven Spielberg get humiliated as he is snubbed for a Best Director nomination. Then as Joe Spinell comes to his defense. Yes, there was a time when Steven Spieberg was hanging out with someone like a Joe Spinell. WATCH Lily Tomlin fix her tiara! WATCH Ronee Blakely toss her gown in the back seat of her car as her brother/escort drives them to the show! Back when the oscars were truly fun, and not the humorless nonsense it has become today! Enjoy!

• Lily Tomlin looks great. Goldie too!

• I was shocked at how Spielberg's physique has withered to nothing recently. He's really skinny, and undeveloped. No muscle tone whatsoever. It makes his head look really big. Could someone start a thread on Mr. Spielberg's lack of physique and muscle tone?

• This is interesting.

• Thanks, OP!

• Did Spielberg actually expect a nomination for Jaws?

• Lee Grant looks really good, given that she was almost 50 at the time. Don't love the dress, though. Lily had a great body for clothes!

• If they did this today, Judy Beasley of Calumet City, Illinois, would be 300lbs.

• The 1970s AAs were really shockingly shabby compared to now, looking like any crappy contemporary awards shows, and this is before Dick Clark started inventing ripoff awards shows like crazy. Hardly ANY nominees seemed to show up back then, and a typical lead-in program from 1976 was "Miss Rona Looks at The Oscars".

• God, Goldie Hawn sits like a trucker. Beautiful long 1920s gown and her legs splayed apart like she's giving birth.

• Lily really does have the body and look for really elegant clothes. To bad she didn't take advantage of that more. I see Michael Douglas was always a cunt.

• I find it... odd... that Douglas and Brenda Vacarro dated. Just.. odd.

• He was into clown face.
