Presenters began using the phrase "And the Oscar goes to..." at the 60th Academy Awards, held on April 11, 1988 at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. The change was made to discourage the notion that a nominee who doesn't receive an award is a "loser."
At the 82nd Academy Awards, held on March 7, 2010, several presenters, including Tom Hanks, Sean Penn, Penelope Cruz, Robin Williams and Barbra Streisand, reverted to the old phrase, "And the winner is..." The Academy did not explain the change back to the old custom.

Academy Awards ladies Bulova Watch 1950's?
In 1949 Bulova began a 4 year contract as the supporter of the televised Academy Awards. To commemorate this relationship the began production of the Academy Award watch. The relationship only lasted 1 year and the Academy sued Bulova and forced them to stop production of the watch using such terms as "Academy Awards", "award winning design". By 1952 production had ceased. Many sellers will try and pass of a simple period bulova as an original "Academy Award Watch". Be careful as they may have located a case and just put a period watch in the box. The originals are 21J, 14K gold and have a distinctive ribbed design on the face. The case should be marke L0, L1 or L2 only. Hope this helps.

What is the song don't stop believing about?
"Don't Stop Believin'" was written about failure. When Journey first started out they did not have much commercial luck. Keyboardist Jonathan Cain would call his Dad, who encouraged him by saying "Don't stop believing or you're done, dude." Even the song itself had a rocky start, as it was released in England to lukewarm response, but became a smash hit in America when it was released in 1981.
