[edit] Trivia
- This was the first ceremony to be held in the Shrine Auditorium since 1948 after nearly two decades at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. Traffic caused major backup in and around the venue holding up some limos transporting several stars including nominees forcing them to leave their limousines and walk to the auditorium via no vehicle. In one instance, a then pregnant nominee Glenn Close was spotted frantically running across intersections. A segment in the show that was scheduled to feature stars from the past 59 best picture winners was cut from the ceremony due to the delay.
- Despite an impending strike which began a month earlier, much of the monologues and segments for the ceremony were already written in anticipation of the strike.
