He recalled being 6 and (somewhat improbably) watching Stanley Kubrick's "2001." He recalled the moment he decided he wanted to become an actor. But he also spoke about the industry's existential crisis: Did movies matter any more, in the wake of what had happened the previous September? "Should we celebrate the joy and magic that movies bring?" he...
Whoopi Goldberg hosted for the fourth (and so far final) time; she'd also hosted in 1994, 1996 and 1999. Shouting "Come and get me, boys!" Goldberg descended from the ceilingin a "Moulin Rouge!" style outfit and never looked back. "So much mud has been thrown this year all the nominees look Black," she told the audience. She also made a comparison ...
It took that national tragedy to get director Woody Allen onstage at the Academy Awards. Famously, the four-time Oscar winner behind films like "Annie Hall" has only attended the ceremony once: In 2002. (And based on claims against him that have come to light in recent years, we don't expect to see him again.) But in the year where the whole countr...
The Oscars have been rightly dunned in recent years for a lack of attention to diverse performances (there's a reason #OscarsSoWhite went viral on social media in 2015). But in 2002 things were actually starting to look a little brighter: Not only was Goldberg the host of the ceremony, but Oscar winner Sidney Poitier was on hand for a special Acade...
But Washington wasn't the only one making history that night: Halle Berry became the first Black actress to win a leading role Oscar, for "Monster's Ball." She became famously emotional during her speech, saying the moment was "so much bigger" than she was. She then dedicated the Oscar to "every nameless, faceless woman of color that now has a chan...
Oscars have been handed out for best short animation since the 1930s, but until 2002, there'd been no special category for feature-length animation. Instituting one might have seemed like a no brainer, but there were complaints and concerns: For one thing, for many years there weren't enough feature length animated films to make a category necessar...
Ah, memories! Two classic love stories (including one called "Love Story") reunited their stars to help with special honors, and it was a treat seeing "The Way We Were" (1973) stars Robert Redford and Barbra Streisand hanging out again (she presented him the second Academy Honorary Award of the night). Then we all swooned again as Ryan O'Neal and A...
Ron Howard made out big time in 2002, as the former child actor ("The Andy Griffith Show") turned adult actor ("Happy Days") turned beloved director won both best director and best picture for "A Beautiful Mind" — his first two Academy Awards (he shared best picture with producer Brian Grazer). During his director acceptance speech, he revealed tha...
Fans of "The Gilded Age" and "Downton Abbey" are well aware of what writer Julian Fellowes does best: upstairs/downstairs life in big estates. And the success of the Robert Altman-directed "Gosford Park" (which earned Fellowes an original screenplay Oscar) was clearly a presage for what was to come with both of those TV series. "I want to thank the...
Twenty years ago, who brought who to the ball? We're thrilled to say that Will Smith (nominated for "Ali" in 2002 and "King Richard" in 2022) and Jada Pinkett-Smith were each other's dates. They married in 1997 and are still together. Meanwhile, Faith Hill (who performed one of the best original song nominees, "There You'll Be," from "Pearl Harbor"...
