At the annual dinner of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (aka the Oscars ceremony), we see various shots film stars sitting at tables: (unidentified woman - could be Irene Dunne?) Jack Benny with wife Mary Livingstone, Norma Shearer, Myrna Loy with producer David O Selznick, could be Cecil B De Mille (?), James Stewart, Cary Grant with Rosalind Russell, Loretta Young, Olivia De Havilland.
M/S of Oscar winners Gary Cooper (Best Actor in 'Sergeant York'), Joan Fontaine (Best Actress for 'Suspicion'), Mary Astor (Best Supporting Actress in 'The Great Lie') and Donald Crisp (Best Supporting Actor in 'How Green Was My Valley') posing with their awards. Nice M/S of Joan Fontaine and Gary Cooper looking at each other, laughing and holding their Oscar statuettes.
Note: if anyone knows who the lady is in shot before Jack Benny, please let us know (looks a little like Loretta Young, who appears later in story).

The great politician and orator Winston Churchill left behind a sea of humourous quips and discerning quotes. We remember some of his finest epigrams and witty ripostes.
WW2 accounted for over 60m deaths and innumerable lives shattered. Pathé cameras took to land, sea and air to record the bloodshed. Here are the 10 bloodiest battles that were caught on film.
Life before health and safety laws; men worked at huge heights, balancing on girders and cranes all in order to help build the world's tallest skyscrapers.
Over its history, the Pathe cameras filmed a number of people who had committed heinous crimes. So in no particular order, these images show ten faces of truly evil men and women.
