Humphrey Bogart and Bob Hope Cut Up: 1955 Oscars

to present the award for Black and White Cinematography, Mr. Humphrey Bogart. Now for the Black and White Cinematography, the best achievement. The winner is, in New York, the winner is On the Waterfront. I'm very happy to get the award and I want to thank the members of the crew that helped me also without a picture, and Elia Kazan that trusted me and inspired me. Thank you. You know, Bogie, I guess the two guys in this town who ought to be most grateful to the cameramen are you and me. Well, Bob, there isn't much they can do with a face like mine, but yours presents vistas of opportunity. They must gaze on your face with all the glee of a child contemplating his first jigsaw puzzle. I don't think either one of us ought to go into it too deeply. Who made you up? Abby, then? No, it was one of the Westmore brothers, the one that ran away from home. But Bogie, I want you to give me just a little advice, and I don't care if this happens in front of the nation. I just want to know, how can I get nominated for an award? Well, I'll tell you, Bob. The first thing you've got to do is to stop playing those silly parts. Cut out all that buffoonery. You've got to go in for some more serious roles. Yeah, well, I've done some very serious roles. No, I mean on purpose. I wish I had his ball bearings. To present the award for color cinematography, Miss Cati Herrado. Cinematography, the winner is Three Coins in the Fountain. Thank you, and muchas gracias, Cati. You say that very good. You have learned to speak very good with a really good Mexican accent, Bob. Yeah, well, I have to. That's where my tax man is hiding. Thanks anyway. Thank you. You're so welcome. Fine, honey. What's the fare to Mexico? And now the award.
