Bit of an odd topic, but to my knowledge, it hasn't been discussed here before, so I thought I'd bring it up 
At the 30th Academy Awards, Donald Duck actually hosted a small segment; according to a brief summary from the Academy themselves, "Donald Duck hosted a seven-minute combined live-action and cartoon history of the movies."
It's a curious subject - apparently, TIME Magazine considered Donald to be one of the worst hosts in the show's history, at least in 2011.
What's even more baffling is that there's no footage of it anywhere online.
I've tried searching, but there's not a trace.
There's an image advertising it here:
There's also This Reddit comment, from someone who did some serious digging.
They explain that, effectively, the official footage can't be accessed unless licensed through Disney.
As far as I know, the footage has never been shown elsewhere - I've searched for it, but turned up blank.
Just wondering if anyone has any ideas on how this footage may be seen?
Or if anyone here might know anything more about it?
