FIRSTS
· In the Heat of the Night is the first detective mystery to win Best Picture.
· For the first time since the creation of the Costume Design Award (1948), Edith Head is not nominated.
· Dustin Hoffman and Faye Dunaway are nominated during their first year in the movies.
· Spencer Tracy's nomination for Best Actor is posthumous. He died 10 days after filming Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, his 9th pairing with Katharine Hepburn.
RULE CHANGES
All divisions between Color and Black & White films are eliminated.
ALWAYS A BRIDESMAID...
Alfred Hitchcock's Thalberg Memorial Award is the only Award he will receive from the Academy.
ROLE REVERSALS
· Doris Day as Dustin Hoffman's seductress, Mrs. Robinson? Not after she read the script and found it morally reprehensible. Next up was Jeanne Moreau who, luckily for Anne Bancroft, also passed.
· Vanessa Redgrave got the screen role that Julie Andrews played on Broadway in Camelot.
· With Vanessa Redgrave in Camelot and Barbra Streisand filming Hello, Dolly!, Julie Andrews and Carol Channing were teamed in Universal's highly successful Thoroughly Modern Milly, a '20s musical spoof concocted by producer Ross Hunter when he couldn't secure the movie rights to The Boy Friend.
SINS OF OMISSION
Picture: In Cold Blood, Two for the Road
Actor: Sidney Poitier - In the Heat of the Night OR To Sir, with Love, Albert Finney - Two for the Road, Robert Blake - In Cold Blood
Song: "To Sir, with Love," "Mrs. Robinson," "The Happening," "This Is My Song"
UNMENTIONABLES
· The Dirty Dozen was the film that made the most money in 1967.
· Bonnie and Clyde made household names out of its cast of lesser knowns: Faye Dunaway, Gene Hackman, Estelle Parsons and Michael J. Pollard.
· Dunaway returned $25,000 of the $60,000 she was paid for Bonnie Parker to secure above-the-title billing.
· Sidney Poitier starred in three 1967 hits: To Sir, with Love, In the Heat of the Night and Guess Who's Coming to Dinner.
· Guess Who's Coming to Dinner became the 2nd-highest-grossing film in 1968, just behind Mike Nichols's The Graduate, another Christmas 1967 release.
· Taking a cue from A Hard Day's Night and Help!, Nichols wrought a pop-score sound track for The Graduate performed by Simon and Garfunkel; the soundtrack album quickly became #1 on the charts.
· Warners' ads for Cool Hand Luke capitalized on the comment Strother Martin's warden uttered every time Paul Newman misbehaved -- "What we have here is a failure to communicate" -- and the line became a rallying cry for both sides of the generation gap.
· George Kennedy's trade ads to Academy members depicted him carrying a wounded Newman and were headlined "George Kennedy -- Supporting."
· By eliminating half of the nominations for Cinematography, Art Direction, and Costume Design, the Academy made competition in these categories much tougher. Gone were the days when a designer could receive nominations for 2 or 3 films.
· Four days before the ceremony, Dr. Martin Luther King was murdered in Memphis. His funeral service was planned for April 9, and 5 people scheduled to appear on the Awards show April 8 -- Louis Armstrong, Diahann Carroll, Sidney Poitier, Sammy Davis Jr. and Rod Steiger -- indicated they would not participate in the show if it was held on the 8th. New Academy President Gregory Peck called a hasty meeting of the Board of Governors, and they decided to postpone the show until April 10, the day after King's funeral.
· Bob Hope happily went along with the changes, and noted that he had once flown on the same plane with the late Dr. King, who had complimented him. "You know, Bob, you're so wonderful on the Academy Awards show," the civil rights leader had said. "We enjoy watching it every year."
· Thanks largely to the efforts of President Peck, 18 of the 20 Acting nominees were at the ceremony.
· Katharine Hepburn was in France filming The Lion in Winter, but she agreed to film a segment for the Awards show.
· According to Rex Reed, when Barbra Streisand announced the Best Song winner was "Talk to the Animals," "you could hear the 'Oh, nos' loudly in the theater."
· Alfred Hitchcock's acceptance speech for the only Academy Award he'd ever get: "Thank you... very much." After the speech, Bob Hope quipped, "He ad-libs a lot, doesn't he?"
