The old saying: "Less is more" is perfectly demonstrated here. Absolutely perfect!

Wow....they got right to the point and left then the stage. Kind of like it that way. I am a new fan of broderick Crawford.

I think that's outstanding Mr. Crawford won an Oscar for his performance. Kudos to you Mr. Crawford! And recently became a huge fan of Broderick Crawford. Just started watching Highway Patrol for the first time on METV and already bought Season 1 DVD and preparing to buy Seasons 2,3, and 4....I'm hooked! My dad (God rest his soul) loved Highway Patrol but it never aired when he was alive at the time, so I never knew what he was talking about until now. I don't mind waking up at 5 in the morning to watch it, METV doesn't record the audio on my Comcast DVR most of the time, so have to watch at 5am or I'll miss it, at least the audio portion. Good 'ol METV...always having technical issues every freakin' time, at least here in Fresno, Ca. Thanks for posting and sharing Oscars.

"All the KIng's Men" one of the great books of all time, and Broderick Crawford, born for that part. - Do you know I lived in his house? I also frequented the "Poop Deck" Lounge in Freeport, LI, where he was a welcome sight always, I'm sure. Complex man. Had a violent streak. Glad to see this moment. Very touching.

That’s the voice of Eve Arden(“Our Miss Brooks,” CBS-TV), doing the complementary moderation, voice over, as Broderick Crawford accepts his award at the podium! 🙂

Wow, that was a jam packed field of nominees! Certainly a monumental performance on 2150’s part. Congratulations!

2150 to base. I just won an oscar, 10-4!

Years later, he'd be setting up roadblocks for the highway patrol... Jane Wyman would be the ruthless matriarch of a winery.. and her ex-husband would be running the free world.

Two West Philly High boys that attended the same school as my father. Broderick Crawford and Paul Douglas. Both were 2 years behind him.

Broaderick Crawford stared as chief of Highway Patrol Dan Mathews in the 1950's big tv series Highway Patrol.

finally a moment where Broderick didn't have to call the coroner.

Great actor...well deserved

As a huge fan of Highway Patrol I didn't realise Broderick Crawford had won an Oscar. What a refreshing contrast in his modest acceptance speech to the pretentious cry babies that pass for 'Stars' today.

Seems weird to see Broderick Crawford & Paul Douglas together. I always kinda thought they were the same person.

Those actors and actresses back then knew their art!

Broderick Crawford was a Great Actor!

Now that is accepting an award with style and grace. No pretensions or gushing. Just simple and to the point.

GRACIAS POR COMPARTIRLO

Crawford did the voice of a commercial supporting fictional US Senator Crocker Jarmon in the 1972 film “ the candidate “

How classy everyone was back then.

could you upload ‘‘twenty years of academy awards‘‘ short please????

Good he thanked God. god is very concerned about who wins Best Actor

Well Deserved:)

I wonder if Broderick Crawford was the first person to thank GOD after winning an award ?

Kept the ball rolling, Now the show is sooooooo longgggggggggggggggggggggggggg

Dan the man Mathews Highway Patrol !

Best Actor should of gone to (In Order): #1 Broderick Crawford for All The Kings Men #2 James Cagney for White Heat, #3 Kirk Douglas for Champion, #4 Joseph Cotten for The Third Man (UK), #5 Cary Grant for I Was A Male War Bride, #6 Richard Todd for The Hasty Heart (UK), #7 John Wayne for She Wore A Yellow Ribbon, #8 John Wayne for Sands Of Iwo Jima, #9 Robert Ryan for The Set-Up, #10 Toshiro Mifune for Stray Dog (Japan), #11 Spencer Tracy for Adam's Rib, #12 Chishu Ryu for Late Spring (Japan), #13 Richard Conte for Thieves' Highway. NOTE: Gregory Peck for Twelve O'Clock High didn't make the cut.

this is broderick crawford saying...see you next week.

Broderick Crawford hurried off the stage because his martini was waiting.

I presume the 1950 Oscar's were televised, but in 1950 not too many folks had TV's! My own folks got their first TV in 1952. We'd watch Jackie Gleason, I Love Lucy, John Cameron Swayze on the news.

All the other actors in the running that year must have "split the hick vote".

I thought Gregory Peck did an amazing job in "Twelve o'clock high."

I imagined a romantic movie with images and music with starrings Jane Wyman and Gregory Peck

I don't care if you r Broderick Crawford...Smokey & the Bandit...now I get it

Thanks for the Oscar. Ten -Four!! 😅

Hellava man

.......Before I was born.

In Crawford s case he must have gone on a two week binge

Love this! My second choice would have been John Wayne.

Very, very nice. So much "CLASS" back then. This was way before a (certain ethnic group) of people whinned thier way into the movie business, demanded to awarded then started assulting each other on stage. The "Oscars" are now ruined. The low ratings prove it.

THE ONE, THE ONLY!!! WAX!!!

If this ceremony were to take place today, all the liberals and atheists in Hollywood and the media would be slamming Broderick Crawford for saying “Thank God.”

James Cagney should have won for " White Heat! "

I love BC.. But how he won Best Actor is beyond me😂

Jane Wyman, the former Mrs. Ronald Reagan.

2150 Bye

This list should have been: Broderick Crawford Kirk Douglas (WINNER) John Wayne Gregory Peck James Cagney

Broderick WOULD have said, "Thanks for the Oscar, Ten-Four!" Except that "Highway Patrol* was still several years away in the future! 😅
