The documentary recounts an important part of the history of this country, retracing a long journey that began on October 6, 1924, and continues to this day. On that day, radio took its first tentative steps into our homes, broadcasting a brief official announcement followed by the inaugural concert of Haydn's Quartet Op. 7.

The story of the gold-plated statuette that became the film industry's most coveted prize, AND THE OSCAR GOES TO... traces the history of the Academy itself, which began in 1927 when Louis B. Mayer, then head of MGM, led other prominent members of the industry in forming this professional honorary organization. Two years later the Academy began bestowing awards, which were nicknamed "Oscar," and quickly came to represent the pinnacle of cinematic achievement.
