FIRSTS
· The Sound of Music tops Gone With the Wind as the biggest box-office grosser to date.
· William Wyler receives his record twelfth Best Director nomination for The Collector.
· The Awards show is broadcast in color.
· Lee Marvin joins a very small group of Best Actor winners for a comic performance. His predecessors: Clark Gable for It Happened One Night (1934) and Rex Harrison for My Fair Lady (1964). James Stewart might cut it for his marginally comic performance in The Philadelphia Story (1940).
· Hiroshi Teshigahara (Woman in the Dunes) is the first Japanese director to be nominated.
· Elizabeth Hartman and Michael Dunn are nominated for their film debuts.
· Julie Christie's Darling launches the miniskirt as a fashion "must."
SINS OF OMISSION
Picture:The Pawnbroker, Repulsion, The Loved One, Help!
Director: Sidney Lumet - The Pawnbroker, Stanley Kramer - Ship of Fools
Song: "Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows," "Baby, the Rain Must Fall," "Ferry Cross the Mersey," "Forget Domani," any eligible song from Help!.
UNMENTIONABLES
· A Cardiff widow held the bleary-eyed record for viewing The Sound of Music 947 times.
· Christopher Plummer referred to his most enduring film as "The Sound of Mucus."
· Critic Pauline Kael was fired by McCall's magazine for her scathing review of the Von Trapp family saga.
· The Sound of Music singlehandedly pulled Fox out of the hole it had dug making Cleopatra.
· The MPAA threatened to withhold its seal of approval for The Pawnbroker because there were shots of women's bare breasts. Director Sidney Lumet and company successfully appealed the decision.
· American-International Pictures - best known for Vincent Price horror flicks and Frankie and Annette beach movies - sold The Pawnbroker as the last word in contemporary independent filmmaking with an Op Art poster.
· Samantha Eggar and Terence Stamp took top acting honors at the 1965 Cannes Film Festival for their performances in The Collector.
· Julie Christie became an international star thanks to Darling. She scored another hit that year with her performance as Lara in David Lean's Doctor Zhivago.
· Also scoring a double hit was character actor Lee Marvin, who broke out of his villain mold in 1965's Cat Ballou and Ship of Fools.
· Richard Burton redeemed himself for the exploitative The Sandpiper (which featured a nearly-nude Liz Taylor) with his work in The Spy Who Came in From the Cold.
· Shelley Winters said of her character in A Patch of Blue, "I really hate this woman. She blinds her daughter by accident when she was trying to blind her husband. And when the girl grows up, she beats her. How's that for a role?"
· 22-year-old newcomer Elizabeth Hartman won the role of the daughter over 150 actresses MGM tested for the part.
· Laurence Olivier's blackface portrayal of Shakespeare's Othello prompted columnist Inez Robb to write: "Olivier's performance was high camp. I was certainly in tune with the gentleman next to me who kept asking, 'When does he sing "Mammy"?'"
· Doctor Zhivago became MGM's 2nd most profitable film, right behind GWTW.
· Rod Steiger's small role in Doctor Zhivago was seen by more people than his star turn in The Pawnbroker, but his Oscar® campaign ads assured Academy voters that he'd done a good job in that one, too.
· ABC showed trailers in theatres for weeks before the color broadcast. Announcer Bob Hope enticed the audience: "Just think, for the first time, you can actually see the losers turn green."
· George Hamilton's date for the Awards ceremony was presidential daughter Lynda Bird Johnson, who arrived in an orange dress with mink trim.
· Backstage after accepting her Supporting Actress Award, Shelley Winters realized she had lost her diamond necklace: "Hey, I rented -- I mean, I borrowed -- it. Somebody please go find it." Orson Welles and Rita Hayworth's daughter Rebecca located the necklace and returned it to the now two-time Oscar® winner.
· One eyewitnes claimed that Rod Steiger momentarily choked when Lee Marvin's name was announced as Best Actor.
· Marvin concluded his acceptance speech with a tribute to his equine co-star, "I think one-half of this belongs to some horse somewhere in the Valley." Walking offstage with presenter Julie Andrews, Marvin whispered to her, "It's kind of wonderful when it happens to you."
· Backstage, Julie Christie inspected her Best Actress Oscar® and asked Rex Harrison, "Why isn't my name on it?" "They didn't know you were going to win, dear," Rex told her. "They'll take it from you and put your name on it and then you may put it on your mantel." "But I haven't got a mantel!" Christie cried, dissolving into tears once again.
· Rod Steiger wrote off losing to bad timing for an independent feature like The Pawnbroker. "When The Sound of Music gets an Academy Award, you know it's Hollywood's year."
· Edith Head, the show's fashion consultant, was livid that so many of the female presenters had worn white dresses in order to look tanned on color TV. "I looked at all those white dresses and I thought we were doing a reprise of 'White Christmas,'" she complained. When asked about Julie Christie's gold pajamas, the 7-time Oscar®- winning designer answered, "How did I know she was going to get dressed up as an Oscar until she got up onstage? ...If she had come out in some proper little black dress and a string of pearls, we would all have been disappointed."
