For those who watched the 83rd Annual Academy Awards Sunday night and were unimpressed, we’d like to take you back to the 61st and 62nd annual ceremonies thanks to the photography of Alan Light. Just about everybody enjoys taking a stroll down memory lane, and many times that jaunt can jog a fuzzy (and funny) sense of nostalgia. Back in ’89-’90, Natalie Portman was 7-8 years old, Kirk Douglas was 72-73 years old (I’ll let that sink in), Demi was still with Bruce, Tom Cruise wasn’t worshipping aliens, and River Phoenix was alive. The 61st edition was notable for not having a host while Rain Man swept most of the major categories. The 62nd ceremony saw Billy Crystal MC while Driving Miss Daisy picked up the most wins. Enjoy these rare red carpet and behind the scenes pics after the jump!

Today we morn the loss of one of our biggest heroes here at COED. After a two-year battle with pancreatic cancer, Patrick Swayze passed away with his family at his side. He was 57. But rather dwell in sadness and sorrow for perhaps film’s all-time biggest badass, let’s take a moment to remember the man and the roles that drove us crazy for the Swayze. “Via Con Dios” dude. We will miss you.
