On this Day in History
2003 - In the UK, Rowan Williams is enthroned as Archbishop of Canterbury, head of the Anglican Church.
1941 - The 13th Academy Awards marks the first time that the results are kept in sealed envelopes, to prevent the Press from spoiling the surprise. The Oscar for Best Picture goes to Rebecca - the only time a film by Alfred Hitchcock would win an Oscar.
1939 - The 7th Academy Awards are held at the Biltmore Hotel, Hollywood, LA. It's the first time that films opening over a period of an entire year are covered (previously, the release dates fell from mid-year to mid-year). Frank Capra's It Happened One Night becomes the first film to win the 'top five' awards.
1812 - The poet Lord Byron gives his first address as a member of the UK House of Lords, in defence of Luddite violence in his home county of Nottinghamshire.
