FIRSTS
· George C. Scott becomes the first actor ever to refuse an Academy Award.
· Jane Alexander and Carrie Snodgress nominated for film debuts.
· Documentary Feature winner Woodstock first documentary nominated for Film Editing.
RULE CHANGES
Music and Writing Awards category names changed yet again.
SINS OF OMISSION
Picture: Women in Love
Song: "Let It Be," "The Long and Winding Road," "Suicide Is Painless"
ROLE REVERSALS
Patton producers first approached such stars as Burt Lancaster, Robert Mitchum, Lee Marvin and Rod Steiger for the title role.
UNMENTIONABLES
· M*A*S*H writer Ring Lardner Jr. practically disowned the movie when he saw that very little of his original script made it into the final cut. Lardner was the only Academy Award winner out of the movie's five nominations.
· Although critic Judith Crist complained of Love Story, "Its venality and infantilism make us reach for the barf bag instead of the Kleenex," the film quickly joined Gone With the Wind and The Sound of Music at the top of the all-time box-office champions list.
· The Academy did not send George C. Scott a congratulatory telegram when his nomination was announced.
· When Scott asked the Academy to rescind his nomination, some suggested that he had done so in case he lost. Rumor had it that he was a bad loser, as evidenced by his behavior when he lost Supporting Actor in 1959 and 1961.
· Airport star Burt Lancaster's response to the nominations received by the film: "I don't know why it was nominated. It's the biggest piece of junk ever made."
· Since this year's Awards show producer Robert Wise insisted that only "movie names" would appear on the show, The Carpenters were not asked to sing their pop hit "For All We Know."
· Bob Hope did a bit of stand-up before presenting the Art Direction Award. For the first time, the audience booed a Hope joke: "I go back to the kind of movie when a girl says 'I love you,' and it's a declaration, not a demonstration." Shaken by the reaction, Hope sped through the rest of his final gags, which included "Chief Dan George, he was all right; but why couldn't they give that part to an American?"
· After the Awards, M*A*S*H director Robert Altman said, "I was happy enough with the nomination -- I was sure they'd vote for another war."
· Not only did George C. Scott refuse to appear at the ceremonies to receive his statuette, but when it was given to him by producer Frank McCarthy, he sent it back to the Academy, where it remains to this day.
· Winning only one of its ten nominations, Airport producer Ross Hunter's main concern was what to do with his $1000 tuxedo: "I'll put the suit in wardrobe and try to use it in my next picture." Hunter was busy casting that next picture and after the show he talked to Sally Kellerman and Liv Ullman about his idea -- a musical remake of Lost Horizon.
· George C. Scott claimed he'd watched a hockey game on TV then gone to bed. He refused to talk to reporters, but wife Colleen Dewhurst told them, "George had to do what he did about the Oscar® because that's the way he feels. But me? I want to win an award."
