Ceremony information

edit
Jon Stewarthosted the 78th Academy Awards.

Despite the negative reception from thepreceding year's ceremony,the Academy rehiredGilbert Catesto oversee production of the awards gala.[4]However, in an article published inThe New York Times,it was stated that 2005 hostChris Rockwould not return to host the show.[26]According to a statement released by his publicist, "He didn't want to do it in perpetuity, He'd like to do it again down the road."[26]Furthermore, many media outlets speculated that several AMPAS members felt uncomfortable with Rock's disparaging comments aboutColin Farrell,Jude Law,andTobey Maguire.[27][28]Initially, Cates sought actor and veteran Oscar hostBilly Crystalto host the ceremony again. However, Crystal declined the offer citing his commitment to his one-man comedy show700 Sundays.[29][30]

In January 2006, Cates announced that actor, comedian, and talk show hostJon Stewart,who had previously hosted two consecutiveGrammy Awardsceremonies in2001and2002,was chosen as host of the 2006 telecast.[31]Cates explained the decision to hire him saying, "My wife and I watch him every night. Jon is the epitome of a perfect host — smart, engaging, irreverent and funny."[32]In a statement, Stewart expressed that he was honored to be selected to emcee the program, jokingly adding, "Although, as an avid watcher of the Oscars, I can't help but be a little disappointed with the choice. It appears to be another sad attempt to smoke out Billy Crystal."[33]

Several other people and companies participated in the production of the ceremony.Bill Contiserved as musical supervisor for the telecast.[34]Media firmThe Ant Farmproduced a thirty-second trailer promoting the broadcast featuring clips highlighting past Oscar winners to the tune of the song "Our Lives"byThe Calling.[35]Previous Oscar hosts such asWhoopi GoldbergandSteve Martin,and actorsMel Gibson,George Clooney,Halle Berryappeared in an opening comedic sketch.[36]ActorTom Hanksparticipated in a pre-taped comedic sketch lampooning Oscar speeches.[37]Stephen Colbert(host ofThe Colbert Report,the sister program of Stewart'sThe Daily Show) narrated two different mockattack adslampooning both the intensecampaigning and lobbyingduring Oscar season put forth by film studios andpolitical advertisingduring elections.[38]ViolinistItzhak Perlmanperformed excerpts from the five nominees for Best Original Score.[39]

Box office performance of nominated films

edit

When the nominations were announced on January 31, the field of major nominees favored independent, low-budget films over blockbusters.[40][41]The combined gross of the five Best Picture nominees when the Oscars were announced was $186 million with an average gross of $37.3 million per film.[42]Crashwas the highest earner among the Best Picture nominees with $53.4 million in domestic box office receipts. The film was followed byBrokeback Mountain($51.7 million),Munich($40.8 million),Good Night and Good Luck($25.2 million), and finallyCapote($15.4 million).[42]

Of the top 50 grossing movies of the year, 35 nominations went to 13 films on the list. OnlyWalk the Line(19th),Cinderella Man(41st),Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit(45th), andCrash(48th) were nominated for Best Picture, Best Animated Feature, or any of the directing, acting, or screenwriting.[43]The other top 50 box office hits that earned nominations wereStar Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith(1st),Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire(2nd),The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe(3rd),War of the Worlds(4th),King Kong(5th),Charlie and the Chocolate Factory(7th),Batman Begins(8th),March of the Penguins,(26th), andMemoirs of a Geisha(47th).[43]

Critical reviews

edit

Some media outlets received the broadcast positively.St. Louis Post-Dispatchtelevision critic Gail Pennington praised Stewart's performance as host writing that he "did the Oscars proud Sunday night, turning in a four-star hosting performance that unfortunately made the rest of the show seem sluggish by comparison."[44]Film criticRoger Ebertsaid that Stewart was "on target, topical and funny," and added, "He was as relaxed, amusing and at home asJohnny Carson."[45]Columnist Ray Richmond ofThe Hollywood Reportercommented, "He seemed at times nervous and self-conscious, but on the whole, Stewart delivered with just the right balance of reverence and smugness."[46]

Others media publications were more critical of the show. Television criticRob Owenof thePittsburgh Post-Gazettewrote that Stewart was more "amusing than funny". He added, "Many of his jokes fell flat with the stars in the Kodak Theatre, and his tendency to bow down before celebrities quickly grew tiresome."[47]Tom ShalesfromThe Washington Postcommented, "It's hard to believe that professional entertainers could have put together a show less entertaining than this year's Oscars, hosted with a smug humorlessness by comic Jon Stewart, a sad and pale shadow of great hosts gone by." Moreover, he derided the "piles and piles and miles and miles of clips from films present and past" writing that it "squandered the visual luster" of the ceremony.[48]Associated Presstelevision criticFrazier Mooreremarked, "Stewart, usually a very funny guy, displayed a lack of beginner's luck as first-time host...His usually impeccable blend of puckishness and self-effacement fell flat in the service of Oscar." He also criticized the decision to play music over the winner's acceptance speeches calling it "distracting and obnoxious."[49]

Horvitz), Outstanding Main Title Design (Renato Grgic, Alen Petkovic, Kristijan Petrovic, and Jon Teschner), and Outstanding Sound Mi xing For A Variety, Music, or Animation Series or Special (Patrick Baltzell, Robert Douglass, Edward J.
