29th Academy Awards
For the 29th Academy Awards, the Best International Feature Film was introduced as a competitive category, instead of only a Special Achievement Award. The first winner in this new category was Federico Fellini's ''La Strada'' with Anthony Quinn, receiving a further nomination for Best Original Screenplay. This was the first year that all of the five Best Picture nominees were in color, and the first Oscar telecast to be videotaped for later broadcast, for those network affiliates that didn't want to broadcast the event live. All of the Best Picture nominees were large-scale epics: ''The King and I'', George Stevens' ''Giant'', Cecil B. DeMille's ''The Ten Commandments'' (the highest-grossing film of the year), William Wyler's '' Friendly Persuasion'', and the winner, ''Around the World in 80 Days''. The trend toward blockbusters and colorful spectaculars was established for years to come, as ''The Bridge on the River Kwai'', '' Gigi'', and '' Ben-Hur'' followed as Best Pic ...

2003 Deaths
3 (three) is a number, numeral and digit. It is the natural number following 2 and preceding 4, and is the smallest odd prime number and the only prime preceding a square number. It has religious or cultural significance in many societies. Evolution of the Arabic digit The use of three lines to denote the number 3 occurred in many writing systems, including some (like Roman and Chinese numerals) that are still in use. That was also the original representation of 3 in the Brahmic (Indian) numerical notation, its earliest forms aligned vertically. However, during the Gupta Empire the sign was modified by the addition of a curve on each line. The Nāgarī script rotated the lines clockwise, so they appeared horizontally, and ended each line with a short downward stroke on the right. In cursive script, the three strokes were eventually connected to form a glyph resembling a with an additional stroke at the bottom: ३. The Indian digits spread to the Caliphate in the 9th ...
