Trivia

When Andre R. Guttfreund and 'Peter Werner (III)' won for Best Live Action Short for their film In the Region of Ice (1976), the Academy, for some reason, only presented them with one Oscar. Presenter Marty Feldman, realizing that there was one Oscar and two winners, threw the Oscar on the floor, breaking it in half, and gave a half to each of the winners.

Bernard Herrmann became the only person in the history of the Academy Awards to be posthumously nominated twice in the same year in the same category. He was nominated for Obsession (1976) and Taxi Driver (1976). He lost both to Jerry Goldsmith for The Omen (1976).

Peter Finch had been encouraged by director Sidney Lumet to campaign for Oscar for Best Actor for _Network (1976)_ and had decided to join him on Good Morning America (1975). They met in the Beverly Hills Hotel on the morning of January 14, 1977, where suddenly Finch clutched his chest and died of a heart attack. Three months later, he became the first actor to win the Best Actor award posthumously.

Himself - Presenter: Best Live Action Short: I would like to take this opportunity to point out that God made me in his own image.

Himself - Co-host: I'm here to explain why black people will never be nominated for anything. This show is going out to 75 million people - none of them black. We don't even know how to vote. There's 3,349 people in the voting thing and only two black people, Sidney Poitier and Harry Belafonte. We're quitting. You'll have to listen to Lawrence Welk.
