Is there any person here who watched the live announcement back in 1992? From the video of the reveal, you can hear people were surprised Beauty & The Beast made it into the Best Picture lineup. What was the reaction back then? Was the movie even predicted to got nominated for the top category? And how about it chances during the race?
ReplyThat was an interesting nominations announcement. The press cheered twice: first at the Boyz ‘n the Hood nomination for Directing and then at the B&TB Picture nomination.
The movie was expected in some way to receive the Best Picture nomination since it made history when it won the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy. Right after the win, Disney made sure of heavily promoting the historic win, here’s a commercial that aired at that time: LINK.

Vintage clips from past nomination ceremonies should be online. I believe there was a gasp from the press when B&B was announced.
There are links for this? I need to see it

Such a shame It faced Silence of the Lambs, maybe it was second with all that passion.ReplyCopy URLFYC:

The amazing thing about this nomination was the almost desperate feeling it gave actors as if the fact that this one animated film got nominated for Best Picture meant that it would somehow lessen their chance to grab live action roles.
At the award ceremony, Billy Crystal sang a lyric during his medley about how actors would “sob” because they “are out of a job”
And when introducing a clip of the film, Sally Field flat out said she hoped it “doesn’t become a trend”.
I can’t remember where I read it but I believe Clint Eastwood admitted to voting for it but almost out of shame.
It was an insanely deserving nomination and I think it’s a shame that no other animated film could achieve the same feat under the 5 nominee system.

This post was found to be inappropriate by the moderators and has been removed.I had never seen this video before and loved the spontaneity of the reaction from the press — you really don’t get that anymore with the new formats they’ve been trying out over the last few years and it is something I would like to see return. That also, of course, requires some audacity on the Academy’s part on what films they nominate and what films are actually seen as long shots during an awards season that doesn’t really leave too much room for surprises come Oscars nomination morning. At least we can live vicariously through the past!
