Gregory Peck, one of the greatest U.S. actors ever, was a vocal critic of the war in Vietnam. To his credit, his son (Stephen) did not try to use his father's name to get out of service. Stephen Peck served in Vietnam in the 1st Marine Division from 1969 to 1970. So he was probably still in Vietnam while this aired.

This was one of those rare times of the AA trying to pick ONE greatest acting performance by a man when every single actor deserved their own Oscar. How in the world could anybody pick 'the best' performance between Sir Richard Burton, Sir Peter O'Toole, the phenomenal John Wayne, Superb Jon Voight and Dustin Hoffman? Duke should have gotten an Oscar long before True Grit, but on this night, they ALL deserved the best acting Oscar. Period.

Wayne should have received the Best Actor award for his leading performance in "The Searchers" in 1956, but neither the film nor Wayne were even nominated for an award -- undoubtedly one of the biggest oversights in Academy history. Yul Brynner won Best Actor for "The King and I," and the utterly forgettable comedy "Around the World in 80 Days" won Best Picture.

Shows the Oscars are a popularity contest and the voters are emotional people, just like the rest of us. You vote for what moves you at the time, not really for what is great or timeless.

+marissa pierce Way more elegance involved back then. Now they have multiple talk show hosts stopping every woman asking 'who are you wearing'? Boring........yawn. Now entire show feels so forced desperate. The producers want to shock and get a laugh at the same time. Major fail always.

Today, the Dolby 🎭 is the 🏡 of the Academy Awards, and has been there since 2002. I just wish the Academy Awards could have a larger 90-piece orchestra conducted by Bridgit Mendler and a big opening number and a big closing number every year! In addition, Phillip Heyes could be the director and Bob Joles could be the announcer!

I hope someway, somehow some of the dignity and class will be recognized by the younger generations today.... Very sad times when compared to these amazing actors and actresses!

Finally Bob Hope's writers delivered an "edgier" monologue than those of previous AA shows he hosted. (A number of "double-entendres" which they were able to get past the censors.) BTW notice the disclaimer at the start of the show by the network (4:18)

The new cinema was in and the jokes were a bit risqué for TV at that time. But the world had changed so drastically between from 65-68, it was just mind boggling. Duke Wayne got the biggest applause as did Fed Astaire & Myrna Loy, old Hollywood but for the contemporaries Liz Taylor as always trounced all of the other stars.
