67th Academy Awards
67th Academy Awards host the Oscars again. This negative criticism arose from
Letterman’s absurdist brand of comedy, and it would lead
to Late Show with David Letterman losing in the ratings to
The Tonight Show with Jay Leno by the summer of 1995.[2]
Letterman seems to have a sense of humor about it, how-
ever, because around Academy Award season he fre-
quently references his lackluster appearance at the Acad-
emy awards on his show in a humorous tone.
Forrest Gump won Best Picture, as well as an additional
five Oscars, including Tom Hanks’ second consecutive
Academy Award for Best Actor. Hanks became only the
second person in Oscar history to accomplish the feat of
winning consecutive awards in the Best Actor category,
the first being Spencer Tracy. Also, Dianne Wiest won her
second Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in a
Woody Allen film, becoming the first person to win two
Oscars in the same category where the films were direct-
ed by the same person (she won another Best Supporting
Actress in 1986 for Hannah and Her Sisters).
This year had the rarity of producing a tie. When Tim
Date Monday, March 27, 1995 Allen opened the envelope for Best Live Action Short,
much to his surprise there was a tie. This is the last time

Los Angeles, California
(as of 2011) this has happened.
The awards this year were also notable for the near
Host David Letterman inclusion of a documentary as Best Picture. The docu-
Producer Gilbert Cates mentary category was then, as always, nominated by a
special committee. The critically acclaimed film Hoop
Director Jeff Margolis Dreams failed to make the documentary committee’s
Highlights short list, even though it was on more critics’ top ten lists
than any other film that year, including Pulp Fiction, For-
Best Picture Forrest Gump
rest Gump, The Shawshank Redemption, and Quiz Show. Many

Duration 3 hours, 35 minutes[1] This was only the 2nd (and last as of 2011) in Oscar

The other time was during the 1938 Oscars. Interestingly
enough, the only first timer was Martin Landau who was
the oldest of the bunch.
Awards,
The 67th Academy Awards honoring the best films of
1994, were held on March 27, 1995 at the Shrine Audito- Awards
rium, Los Angeles, California. They were hosted by well-
known comedian and talk show host David Letterman. Winners are listed first and highlighted with boldface[3]
The ceremony is perhaps best remembered for Let-
terman’s performance as the host. Although some Academy Honorary Award
thought of him as different but good, most critics labeled • Michelangelo Antonioni
his performance as terrible and vowed for him never to
