Ceremony information

edit
Billy Crystalhosted the 76th Academy Awards.

In light of the record low viewership from thepreceding year's ceremony,the Academy sought to make several changes and hire a new producer for the upcoming show. AMPAS announced that unlike previous years where the ceremony typically was held in either late March or early April, the festivities would be held in late February.[24]AMPAS director of communications John Pavlik explained that the purpose of moving the telecast a month earlier was "to bolster the ceremony's sagging television ratings and protect the Oscar's status as the nation's pre-eminent awards event."[25]Despite several Academy officials denying such reasons, some industry insiders speculated that the earlier Oscar date was also implemented to mitigate the intensecampaigning and lobbyingduring Oscar season put forth by film studios.[26]This marked the first time since the14th ceremonythat the awards were held outside the aforementioned time frame.[27]

In August 2003, the Academy hired film producerJoe Rothto oversee production of the ceremony. The following month, Roth recruited veteran Oscar hostBilly Crystalto emcee the awards gala for the eighth time.[28]To stir interest surrounding the awards, Roth produced three trailers promoting the ceremony that each was set to different pop tunes (Madonna's "Hollywood",OutKast's "Hey Ya!",andPink's "Get the Party Started"). The trailers contained clips of previous ceremonies with slogans such as" Expected the unexpected "and" It's Oscar night "occasionally flashing between scenes.[29]These promotional spots were shown at movie theaters, on several cable channels, and at participatingBlockbusterstores.[30]The Academy also granted talk show hostOprah Winfreyunprecedented access to rehearsals and meetings as part of a month-long series on hereponymous talk showcovering behind the scenes preparation of the telecast.[30]

MPAA ban on screeners

edit

In September 2003, theMotion Picture Association of America(MPAA) initially banned distribution ofscreenersto awards groups, citing fears ofpiracy.[31]Many independent film studios and prominent film directors objected to this decision charging that this would hurt smaller films for Oscar consideration since they heavily rely on screeners to lure Academy members' attention.[31]The following month, AMPAS and the MPAA reached an agreement in which Academy members would receive the screeners on the condition that they keep them out of reach from people unaffiliated with AMPAS.[32]In December 2003, a federal judge in New York overturned the ban citing that it violatedfederal antitrust laws.[33][34]

Box office performance of nominated films

edit

At the time of the nominations announcement on January 27, the combined gross of the five Best Picture nominees was $638 million with an average of $127 million per film.[35]The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the Kingwas the highest earner among the Best Picture nominees with $338.3 million in domestic box office receipts.[35]The film was followed bySeabiscuit($120.2 million),Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World($85.3 million),Mystic River($59.1 million), and finallyLost in Translation($34.8 million).[35]

Of the top 50 grossing movies of the year, 45 nominations went to 10 films on the list. OnlyFinding Nemo(1st),The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King(2nd),Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl(3rd),Seabiscuit(16th),Something's Gotta Give(21st),The Last Samurai(23rd),Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World(31st),Brother Bear(32nd)Cold Mountain(37th), andMystic River(46th) were nominated for Best Picture, Best Animated Feature, or any of the directing, acting, or screenwriting.[36]

Tape delay implementation

edit

In light of thecontroversysurrounding thehalftime showduringSuper Bowl XXXVIII,networkABCimplemented a five-secondtape delayto ensure that profanity and obscenity were not seen or heard.[37]AMPAS presidentFrank Piersonprotested this decision in a written statement, stating, "Even a very brief tape-delay introduces a form of censorship into the broadcast—not direct governmental control, but it means that a network representative is in effect guessing at what a government might tolerate, which can be even worse."[38]In response, producer Joe Roth reiterated that censorship would only be applied to profanity and not political speeches.[39]

Critical reviews

edit

The show received a mixed reception from media publications.Chicago Tribunetelevision critic Steve Johnson lamented that the show "felt almost numbingly familiar and disappointingly genteel." He also criticized broadcaster ABC's decision to implement the five-second tape delay.[40]Tom ShalesofThe Washington Postquipped that the ceremony "was about as entertaining as watchingJell-Ocongeal. "He also added that the lack of surprises among the awards contributed to the dull atmosphere of the telecast.[41]Columnist Tim Goodman ofSan Francisco Chroniclebemoaned, "The 76th annual Academy Awards dragged on without much drama or comedy, sucking the life out of the event even while it was doing justice to the masterpiece that isThe Lord of the Rings."[42]

Other media outlets received the broadcast more positively.Ken TuckerofEntertainment Weeklypraised Crystal's hosting performance saying that he "has located the perfect middle ground betweenSteve Martin's adroit silliness andWhoopi Goldberg's unapologetic hamminess. "On the show itself, he said that it" managed to do what Hollywood may not have: convince us that this was a great year for the movies. "[43]Film criticAndrew SarrisofThe New York Observerwrote that the show was "the funniest and least tedious in memory." He also extolled producer Joe Roth by concluding, "As far as this old critic's concerned, Mr. Roth, you did a fine job."[44]USA Todaycritic Robert Bianco commented that despite the lack of suspense due to theLord of the Ringssweep of the awards "Crystal was able to lace funny bits throughout the evening." He further lauded the show as "more glamorous and upbeat than last year's war-muted event, and decently paced."[45]

Ratings and reception

edit

The American telecast on ABC drew in an average of 43.56 million people over its length, which was a 26% increase from the previous year's ceremony.[46]An estimated 73.89 million total viewers watched all or part of the awards. The show also earned higherNielsen ratingscompared to the previous ceremony with 26.68% of households watching over a 41.84 share.[47]In addition, it garnered a higher 18–49 demo rating with a 15.48 rating over a 38.79 share among viewers in that demographic.[47]It was the highest viewership for an Academy Award telecast since the72nd ceremonyheld in 2000.[48]

In July 2004, the ceremony presentation received nine nominations at the56th Primetime Emmys.[49]Two months later, the ceremony won one of those nominations for Louis J. Horvitz's direction of the telecast.[50][51]

"In Memoriam"

edit

The annual "In Memoriam" tribute was presented by Academy President Frank Pierson. The montage featured an excerpt of "The Love of the Princess" fromThe Thief of Bagdad,composed byMiklós Rózsa(Ben-Hur,Spellbound,Quo Vadis,King of Kings,El Cid).[52]
