Trivia:

When Andre R. Guttfreund and Peter Werner won for Best Live Action Short for their film In the Region of the 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.

Come to Me

Barbra Streisand performs for the first time on the Academy Awards!!

Although "Network" won four awards and "Rocky" won the big prize, what stands out in my mind is that Barbra Streisand sang for the first and I believe the only time in Oscar history. She sang her own song, "Evergreen" from "A Star Is Born" and also won the award for "Best Song"!! Personally, I was rooting for "All the President's Men" to win the Best Picture honors, but it did not.
