Academy Awards for 1973By Patrick Mondout
The 46th Annual Academy Awards were hosted by John Huston, David Niven, Burt Reynolds, Diana Ross
on April 2, 1974
at the Dorothy Chandler Pavillion (Los Angeles) and broadcast live on NBC.
This was the year of the streaker.
As David Niven was introducing Elizabeth Taylor, who in turn was to
announce the final prize - Best Picture, a nude man ran streaked by and
flashed the peace sign (we have more
on streaking and the streaker.)
