This seems suspicious to me. Can someone check. I mean why schedule it for 5:30 in the morning in a theatre? I mean in the evening in a theatre as a big event sure, or released over the wire services at the crack of dawn, again I see the logic, but makes little sense to me. – MrWeeble Talk Brit tv 16:46, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
Does anyone else find it strange that "Wunderkind" from The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is not on the longlist for the Best Original Song nominations? I'm also surprised that "Wonka's Welcome Song" from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is not on the list, but that's not as big a surprise as "Wunderkind". By the way, I'm also glad that "So Long and Thanks for All the Fish" from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy made it. -- QQQ (1-19-06)
Also, to add to the suspicion in the conversation above, "Wunderkind" was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Original Song this year. "A Love that Will Never Grow Old," from Brokeback Mountain, won the Golden Globe, and is also not on the longlist. "Christmas in Love" from Christmas in Love was also nominated and is missing from the longlist. What does the song have to accomplish to win the Oscar, be nominated, or even get on the longlist? -- QQQ (1-29-06)
Why do we have the nominations here and in a seperate article? There's no need to list them in two places. -- MisterHand 16:55, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
Merge is done. If this article gets too big, we can just copy the information back. -- MisterHand 21:43, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
Someone should note that Jon Stewart is the host for the show.
I started adding names of who was actually nominated. Remember people not movies actually win the award. I realised this might be contreversial so I thought I'd post here. It could mean a very long page, but I think it's worth it. Flying Canuck 02:02, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
I think it's a little funny they're ending the whole thing with (a variation on) the music "Also Sprach Zarathustra." An odd choice if you ask me. Fbv65edel 04:32, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
That was Ed Helms who narrated the comedic video clips, right? Or was it Stephen Colbert? Kudzu1 05:05, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
It was Stephen Colbert.
It sounded like
Rob Corddry to me.

Well, we already have movie critic Louis B. Hobson of the Sun Media chain in Canada calling the Academy "spineless cowards" for not going with Brokeback. [1] Should we start a section on the inevitable controversy over the Best Picture decision? 23skidoo 14:27, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
I guess a lot depends on the aftermath. If all we get is griping from critics (and need I point out that Hobson would have been rooting for the "home team" since he's from Calgary and Brokeback was filmed in the area), then I don't see it being an issue worth sectioning. If GLAAD starts marching on the Academy offices, that's a different story. 23skidoo 22:13, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
I think there might be cause for including a section about the so-called "Crash-lash" the media is currently hyping. Apparently the webmaster of Fennec Awards Databse was so morally upset that Brokeback didn't win, that he shut down his website (or at least the movie side of it) claiming his love of movies "irreparably damaged" by the decision to give the Best Picture to Crash.

Something is wrong with the linking for the template. It has these as the 2004 academy awards. And clicking on the 2005 academy awards goes to the 2007 ones, which is Prod nominated. Sorry if my clarity is essentially non-existent, i am very tired and about to go to bed, but take a look at the template and you will see what i mean. Jdcooper 14:37, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

The infobox at the top of the article is pretty ugly, shouldn't we get a more Wikipedia like infobox like the one at Langt fra Las Vegas and similar pages. It needs at least a border around and some tables. -- Snailwalker | talk 17:57, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
Eminem won in 2002 for his song, "Lose Yourself." Unless I'm not understanding what is being said here, Three Six is not the first. Jogabbeyjr 00:20, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
I checked Previous Academy Awards articles and i noticed that every article is written in a different way. Dy yol 16:23, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
I'm not familiar with the guidelines of
WikiNews, but the section about News, commentary etc surrounding the Oscars seems to me that most of it belongs in WikiNews rather than here and then linked. At lot of it content is sourced commentaries of Film Critics and articles relating positively/negatively about the Oscars. While I do appreciate that some inclusion regarding the controversies surrounding the 78th Academy Awards needs to be included, it defintitely seems like most of this info seems unbeneficial in actually providing factual information regarding this years oscars. Comments?

^ According to IMDB, prior to 2004, no previous Best Picture winner was predominately set in Los Angeles.
The section says, at least at first reading, that only 38.94 people watched the ceremony. That certainly doesn't sound right. - Fbv 65 edel ( discuss | contribs) 16:32, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
We need memorable quotes from the cerimoney. Most Oscar pages have memeorable quotes. We need John Stuart and the other winners and nominees. -- ShortShadow 23:30, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
This page, 78th, refers to awards for 2005 films. The french version pointed to refers to 2006 films or 79th. -- Stavr0 16:54, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
