1998 Academy Awards... "Titanic" & more...

Item # 727584 ·
LOS ANGELES TIMES, March 24, 1998

* 1998 Academy Awards - Oscars in Los Angeles 
* Record breaking film "Titanic" takes 11 awards
* James Cameron - Leonardo DiCaprio - Kate Winslet

The front page has a heading: "'Titanic' Snags 11, Ties for Record" with photo showing James Cameron accepting the "Best Director" Oscar. First report coverage continues inside. 
And the "Calendar" section has so much more including a full page advertisement for the film which lasted several months at the theaters. 
Complete with all sections (100+ pages), very nice condition.

Background: The 70th Academy Awards, held on March 23, 1998, stands as a watershed milestone in entertainment history, capturing a rare moment when critical acclaim, massive box office success, and record-shattering monoculture perfectly collided. Celebrated for drawing an unprecedented 55.3 million viewers—the most-watched Oscars telecast in television history—the ceremony was completely dominated by James Cameron’s disaster epic Titanic, which tied the all-time record by sweeping 11 awards, including Best Picture and Best Director. The historical significance of the evening extends far beyond Titanic's juggernaut run, however, as it served as a major cultural changing of the guard; it propelled 20-somethings Matt Damon and Ben Affleck into Hollywood royalty for their Good Will Hunting screenplay, gave the beloved Robin Williams his sole career Oscar, and rewarded the brilliant neo-noir L.A. Confidential. By balancing blockbusters with intimate independent dramas, the 1998 ceremony marked the absolute peak of the traditional Hollywood awards broadcast before the fragmentation of the digital streaming era.
