UNMENTIONABLES
· The full title of The Talented Mr. Ripley is "The Mysterious Yearning Secretive Sad Lonely Troubled Confused Loving Musical Gifted Intelligent Beautiful Tender Sensitive Haunted Passionate Talented Mr. Ripley."
· Eighteen days before the awards ceremony, 55 Oscar statuettes en route from Chicago to the Academy were stolen from a Roadway Express shipping dock in Bell, California. A week and a half later, a scrap metal dealer, Willie Fulgear, found 52 of the statuettes in a Dumpster behind a grocery store in LA's Koreatown. (In the meantime, the Academy had had replacement statuettes made.) For finding the awards, Mr. Fulgear received two tickets to the Academy Awards show, where he was praised by host Billy Crystal, and a $50,000 check from the shipping company. A few months later, $40,000 of his reward was stolen from a safe in his apartment.
· In June 2003, FBI agents in South Florida performing a drug bust found one of the three missing Oscar statuettes.
· Added to that was the scandal of the USPS's misplacing several hundred Academy ballots.
· At the Awards, Michael Caine told Haley Joel Osment, who was 11 at the time, "Once I learned of your nomination and saw your performance, I knew for sure you would win".
· Perhaps in tribute to cross-dressed Hilary Swank's performance (?), "South Park" creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone showed up in drag as Jennifer Lopez and Gwyneth Paltrow. When their "Blame Canada" was performed, the F word in the lyric was covered by gasps from the choir.
· Pedro Almodóvar provided Billy Crystal with some joke fodder when he mangled his acceptance speech. Said Crystal: "He makes Roberto Benigni look like an English teacher."
· One surpise for the evening was The Matrix's sweep of the technical Awards (Film Editing, Sound, Sound Effects Editing & Visual Effects), some of which were expected to be awarded to Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace.
· The seductive little gift baskets given to this year's Oscar® presenters included a baseball autographed by Joe DiMaggio, a limited-edition Tag Heuer watch, an 18-carat gold bracelet, a Kodak digital camera, and a Harry Winston sterling silver travel frame in a leather case.
