Trivia:

Adriana Caselotti who provided the voice for Snow White in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) was offended that the Disney didn't ask for her services to provide the voice for the character who was presenting the award for Best Live Action Short Subject stating that "Uncle Walt never would have permitted this, to just let some girl do it". Furthur proof of Snow White's shaky association with the academy came during the presentation of the award itself when the film of the animated character froze in mid-sentence before announcing the winner.

Quotes:

Himself - Host: I promise you that tonight, I will *not* reveal the secret of the movie, "The Crying Game". But I *will* say this. When I watched that movie, I discovered something: White men *can* jump!

"The Ham-bone" finally wins Best Actor

Al Pacino finally wins Best Actor for the hammiest performance since George Arliss's "Disraeli"!! Of course we all know that he won because he had 7 losses before and they felt sympathy for him. Also, this was the year that Marisa Tomei caused an upset for winning Best Supporting Actress for "My Cousin Vinny".
