Trivia

Judi Dench was the only nominee not to attend the award show. She was in India, in order to finish her work on The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2015). Cate Blanchett mentioned this in her speech and used it to point out that female driven films are successful at the box office.

Quotes

Catherine Martin - Winner: Best Costume Design and Best Production Design: I do have a few words tucked into my bra. It's a very Australian thing to do. It's where you put your tissues. I'll be very short. It's not a long list. Of course, I'd like to thank the Academy but mainly I'd like to thank my incredible team. I have a group of ladies who are sewing for me right now in Sydney on a show we're making of Baz's first film, a musical. They're my golden girls. They've been working with me for 25 years. They bring me such incredible luck. They'll all be watching the TV...

User Reviews

A pizza and hero themed Oscars? An Oz tribute still the rightful winners won!

Ellen was back once again as host of the Oscars and she was pretty funny for the 86th edition of the annual academy awards. The show was all right with it's music and the theme of hero at the movies was just fine with a "Wizard of Oz" tribute clip as "Over the Rainbow" was sung. Of course the show was once again to long with many awards being handed out still most of the top prizes went as expected and they were well deserved. As Cate Blanchett winning best actress as a tormented female soul in Woody Allen's drama "Blue Jasmine" was rightfully deserved. And in my opinion the strongest tag team performance of the year occurred in "Dallas Buyers Club" as the raw and tough emotional gritty performance from two rebels rightfully won Jared Leto a best supporting actor Oscar and Matthew McConaughey the best actor award and the speeches both gave were powerful and emotional a real stand speech effort. And the pizza pass out and cell star snap picture was okay for the show still probably the best movie of the year "12 Years a Slave" rightfully won best picture. Not the best Oscar awards show of recent years still a pretty good one.
