Yo Amadeus Imma let you finish but Once Upon a Time in america... lol Ok Kanye West whatever. I don't care how good Once upon a time is but Amadeus is a worthy best picture winner any year and America is nowhere close to being 10x better. They're both great films and I wouldn't begrudge either of them the win. The truth is another one of my favourite films, A Passage to India was also nominated that year and failed to win but it doesn't bother me

+link biff From what I understand, Sir Laurence already was suffering from Alzheimer's, so I don't think anyone holds the gaffe against him. But of course, there was a "point" in naming the other nominees. First, it was an honor just to get nominated. For some, that may have been the highlight of their professional life. Saul Zaentz showed more class than you. And, I am speaking as someone who agrees with the choice of "Amadeus." I adore the film.

"When the movie won Best Picture at The 57th Annual Academy Awards (1985), Sir Laurence Olivier was presenting the award. He went up to the podium, opened the envelope and said "Amadeus." The problem was he forgot to read the nominees first. An AMPAS official quickly went onstage to confirm the winner and signalled that all was well, before Olivier then presented the award to producer Saul Zaentz. Olivier (in his 78th year) had been ill for many years, and it was because of mild dementia that he forgot to read the nominees. Zaentz then thanked Olivier, saying it was an honour to receive the award from him, before mentioning the other nominees in his acceptance speech: The Killing Fields (1984), A Passage to India (1984), Places in the Heart (1984) and A Soldier's Story (1984)." - quoted from IMDB

If I was Olivier (FAT CHANCE) I would also be overwhelmed if I received both an touching introduction by a tearful Jack Lemmon (on comparing him to gods, "I apologize for the understatement") and receiving a standing ovation (at a time when those were very rare). Hats off to Mr. Zaentz for finishing the job of mentioning and praising the other nominees. I remember Michael Caine (Yes, I know people did not like his win in 1999 over Tom Cruise) spending half of his acceptance speech praising the other nominees one by one. CONGRATS to one of my favorite movies on its win.

I read that Olivier didn't even open the envelope with the winner in it. He couldn't make out the words on the teleprompter, got a little confused and simply read the first name on the alphabetical list of nominees and said that was the winner. Fortunately, that was in fact the actual winner - avoiding an embarrassment like "La La Land".

He was in the first stages of Dementia, unfortunately. Great actor.

1984 was a great year for film. I loved Amadeus, but also A Passage to India and A Soldier’s Story. All well made films.

Anyway it was so decent of Saul Zaentz to mention all the nominees so easily and politely when Olivier forgot it.

There's so much true respect in the words of Jack Lemmon. He seemed to have been a big Olivier fan.

The first film from Orion Pictures to win Best Picture!!

jesusfish it was Orion’s film. Warner Bros. just bought the rights later on when the company went under. Just like Fox and MGM owns the rights to the other Orion Best Picture winners Platoon and The Silence of the Lambs.

If I was the producer at that ceremony, I would probably be struggling a little! You have all the clips ready and then suddenly Olivier just completely skips them all. Ah well, at least he was right. Love this movie so much!

Even worse, the producers didn't know who won. That's why you see one run out on stage to check the envelope. They didn't know if Olivier hadn't just read off the first nominee. They almost had their own Moonlight/La La Land moment.
