Why no list of nominees? Irksome. john k (talk) 05:06, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Updating to table format

List of winners and nominees converted to the more attractive table layout, part of my ongoing project to improve these pages. See talk for the 38th awards for more details. Nora nettlerash (talk) 20:01, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

International Telecasts in 1969

I am searching for additional credible sources to support the often quoted "fact" that the 1969 telecast was the first shown internationally. First, the Oscars was telecast in Canada and Mexico prior to 1969. Second, I wonder if there might be some confusion between the year of the broadcast and the year of the nominated films. Is it possible that the 1970 Oscars telecast, which awarded 1969 films, was the first for wider distribution of the telecast outside North America, some live and some by tape?

At the opening of the 42nd Academy Awards in 1970, the President Gregory Peck announces that for the first time Mexico and Brazil will join the United States and Canada in watching the ceremony live, and that 40 countries will watch it later on videotape or film. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEnAY6tqSBA Wiredwidget (talk) 21:48, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I found an Academy Report publication in the Margaret Herrick Library Digital Collection of Oscars.org with an article indicating the 41st Oscars will be "telecast internationally for the first time...The telecast will go live to Mexico and Canada in addition to being seen live and in color in the United States. It will also go to 30 other countries...Several other countries may soon be added to the roster, [Academy President Gregory] Peck said." Wiredwidget (talk) 19:39, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Number of Nominations for Oliver!

There is an understandable confusion regarding the number of nominations the film Oliver! received. The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences on its 41st Academy Awards Winners & Nominees webpage indicates 12 nominations, as it includes the Honorary Special Award for Choreography as a nomination and a win.
