The '''1999 Sydney hailstorm''' was the costliest [[natural disaster]] in [[Australia]]n [[insurance]] history, causing extensive damage along the east coast of [[New South Wales]]. The storm developed south of [[Sydney]] on the afternoon of 14 April 1999 and struck the city's [[Eastern Suburbs (Sydney)|eastern suburbs]], including the [[central business district]], later that evening.<ref name="BM19">Zillman (1999), 19.</ref>

==Winners and nominees==
The storm was classified as a [[supercell]] following further analysis of its erratic nature and extreme attributes. During the event, the [[Bureau of Meteorology]] was constantly surprised by the frequent changes in direction, as well as the severity of the hail and the duration of the storm. The event was also unique as the time of year and general conditions in the region were not seen as conducive for extreme [[storm cell]] formation.<ref name="NH3"/><ref name="BM29">Zillman (1999), 29.</ref>

==Conditions and climatology==
The conditions around Sydney on 14 April were calm, although a slight instability in [[atmosphere|atmospheric]] conditions was recorded by the [[Bureau of Meteorology]] in the region. Two instability events had been identified in the greater Sydney area, but both were considered minor by the meteorological agencies. A weak [[cold front]] was moving north along the coast, and moderate [[Precipitation (meteorology)|precipitation]] was falling over the [[Blue Mountains (New South Wales)|Blue Mountains]], [[South-western Sydney|southwest]] of the city. The meteorological reports and figures, however, suggested that the general atmospheric conditions were "not conducive" to support the formation of a major thunderstorm in the region.<ref name="WH99">Whitaker (2005), 99.</ref>


===Awards===
Historical records show that the formation of severe thunderstorms for the time of day and year had been rare, and it was improbable that they would maintain their intensity and cause significant damage.<ref name="BMi">Zillman (1999), i.</ref><ref name="RL">Leigh (1999).</ref> This long-standing belief contributed to the Bureau of Meteorology's decision not to issue warnings in the early part of the storm's development.<ref name="WH99"/> The 1999 event was only the second time in recorded history that hail larger than {{convert|2|cm|in|1|abbr=on}} had fallen in the Sydney metropolitan area in the month of April,<ref name="BoMSW">Bureau of Meteorology (1999).</ref> and only the fifth hailstorm to strike Sydney during April in the 200 years of meteorological records for the city.<ref name="COL">Collings ''et al.''

Hailstorms have had a history of significant damage in Australia. Since records on insured losses by the Insurance Disaster Response Organisation began in 1967 three other hailstorms — Sydney in 1986 and 1990, as well as Brisbane in 1985 — feature on the top-ten list of most insured damages caused by a single natural disaster, in addition to the 1999 storm. Hailstorms have caused more than 30% of all insured damages inflicted as a result of natural disasters in Australia during this period, and around three quarters of all hailstorm damage has occurred in [[New South Wales]].<ref name="NH3"/>

===Academy Honorary Award===
The storm continued to move in a northeasterly direction, crossing the coast just north of Kiama at 5:25&nbsp;pm. It was downgraded from a severe thunderstorm and proceeded to move further off the coast for another 15 minutes while gaining speed to around {{convert|37|km/h|mph|abbr=on|}}. The storm then veered northward at 5:40&nbsp;pm and continued parallel to the coast. Around 6:00&nbsp;pm, directly east of [[Wollongong]], the storm changed direction again, this time to northnortheast, and continued parallel to the coastline. Moderate hailstones were recorded falling in Wollongong as the western edge of the storm passed over the area, and the storm was reclassified as severe.<ref name="BM17"/>

===Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award===
The storm moved parallel to the coast in a northnortheasterly direction for the next fifty minutes. It maintained a severe classification though did not impact heavily on the coastal suburbs, because it was entirely offshore. The western edge of the storm, however, recrossed the coastline just east of [[Helensburgh, New South Wales|Helensburgh]], {{convert|40|km|mi|abbr=on|}} southsouthwest of Sydney, at about 7:00&nbsp;pm. Ten minutes later the direction of the storm veered slightly more northward and the centre of the storm crossed back onto land at [[Bundeena, New South Wales|Bundeena]] at around 7:20&nbsp;pm.<ref name="BM18">Zillman (1999), 18</ref>

The Bureau of Meteorology had not issued warnings for [[Sydney Airport]], located on the northern shore of [[Botany Bay]], or the rest of the eastern suburbs to prepare for large hail.

It travelled across the [[Eastern Suburbs (Sydney)|eastern suburbs]] between Botany Bay and [[Sydney Harbour]] between 7:45&nbsp;pm and 8:05&nbsp;pm, dropping massive hailstones on both houses and businesses in the eastern suburbs district and the [[central business district]].<ref name="BM18"/> Some of the largest hailstones ever to be recorded in the Sydney region fell on the eastern suburbs during this storm.

The storm continued across Sydney Harbour and changed direction slightly to be heading north. It weakened after travelling over the Harbour, and was downgraded from a severe storm at 8:15&nbsp;pm. The Bureau of Meteorology had concluded that the storm would weaken after heading across Sydney Harbour, believing it was dissipating and would therefore not produce any more substantial hail as it moved northward; therefore it did not issue warnings for the northern suburbs.<ref name="BMi"/><ref name="ANN4"/>

The storm then continued north for twenty minutes over the [[North Shore (Sydney)|North Shore]] suburbs of Sydney before regaining strength and veering northnorthwest again, redeveloping severe thunderstorm characteristics. The storm's redevelopment again caught the Bureau of Meteorology off-guard, who had expected the storm to dissipate and move out to sea without causing further substantial damage.<ref name="BM18"/>

It proceeded to drop large amounts of hail on the [[Northern Beaches (Sydney)|northern beach]] suburbs of [[Mona Vale, New South Wales|Mona Vale]] and [[Palm Beach, New South Wales|Palm Beach]] around 8:50&nbsp;pm, and the centre of the storm again crossed the coast and back out to sea just after 9:00&nbsp;pm. The storm maintained its intensity, however, and continued to move in a northwesterly direction across [[Broken Bay]]. The western edge of the storm had a minor impact on southern suburbs of the [[Central Coast (New South Wales)|Central Coast]] between 9:15&nbsp;pm and 9:30&nbsp;pm.<ref name="BM18"/>

===Secondary storm cell===
<!-- 合理使用文件:1999_Sydney_hailstorm_radartwocells.png -->[[:File:1999 Sydney hailstorm radartwocells.png|thumb|250px|The [[Bureau of Meteorology]] radar image from 8:10&nbsp;pm, showing the first cell directly over the Sydney central business district and the second cell approximately {{convert|80|km|mi|abbr=on}} south along the coastline]]
A second, far smaller storm cell passed along a similar route to the first later in the evening of 14 April. This cell was never given the classification of 'severe' by the [[Bureau of Meteorology]], nor did it develop into a [[supercell]] like its predecessor.<ref name="WH97">Whitaker (2005), 97.</ref> Therefore, the route of the second cell was more direct and predictable than the first, following the general movement of the cold front (see [[#Conditions and climatology|conditions and climatology]]), and the Bureau of Meteorology issued warnings to all residents in the second cell's projected path to expect further storm activity.<ref name="WH101">Whitaker (2005), 101.</ref>


Opting for a younger face in an attempt to increase viewership, while renewing interest with the nominated films, producer [[Gil Cates]] selected actor and comedian [[Chris Rock]] to host the 2005 ceremony.<ref name="Oscar Rocks" /> Cates explained his decision to hire Rock for the telecast in a press release saying, "I am a huge fan of Chris Rock. He always makes me laugh and he always has something interesting to say. Chris represents the best of the new generation of comics. Having him host the Oscars is terrific. I can't wait."<ref>{{cite news|title=Chris Rock to Host Oscars|url=http://www.foxnews.com/story/2004/10/14/chris-rock-to-host-oscars/|accessdate=July 30, 2014|work=Fox News|publisher=21st Century Fox|date=October 14, 2004}}</ref> By virtue of his selection, Rock became the first [[African American]] man to solo host the gala.<ref>{{cite news|last1=McNamara|first1=Mary|title=Rock On|url=http://articles.latimes.com/2005/feb/27/magazine/tm-rock09|accessdate=July 14, 2014|work=Los Angeles Times|publisher=Tribune Company|date=February 27, 2005}}</ref>
The secondary cell passed through Sydney two hours later than the first, just after 10:00&nbsp;pm, having been approximately {{convert|80|km|mi|abbr=on}} south of Sydney when the supercell struck. It dropped hail up to {{convert|2|cm|in|1|abbr=on}} in diameter, as well as producing heavy [[rainfall]]. Damage caused by the second cell was mostly due to rain coming in through roofs already damaged by hail from the first cell. Hail from the second cell also contributed to the damage.<ref name="RL"/><ref name="WH1034">Whitaker (2005), 103–4.</ref>


Nearly a month before the ceremony Rock told Josh Wolk of ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'', "Come on, it's a fashion show. No one performs; it's not like a music show. What straight black man sits there and watches the Oscars? Show me one."<ref>{{cite news|last1=Wolk|first1=Josh|title=The Oscars Get Rock-ed|url=http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,1021799,00.html|accessdate=August 1, 2014|work=Entertainment Weekly|publisher=Time Warner|date=February 1, 2005}}</ref> Political blogger [[Matt Drudge]] later reported that several anonymous AMPAS members wanted Rock fired from his hosting job as a result of the comments.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Grossberg|first1=Josh|title=Rock Roiling Oscars|url=http://www.eonline.com/news/49247/rock-roiling-oscars|accessdate=August 1, 2014|work=E!|publisher=NBCUniversal|date=February 15, 2005}}</ref> Nevertheless, producer Cates issued a statement defending the host saying, "Chris' comments are meant to be humorous digs at a show that some people, obviously including Chris himself, think may be a bit too stuffy."<ref>{{cite news|title=Producer supports Chris Rock as show's host|url=http://old.chronicle.augusta.com/stories/2005/02/16/osc_443191.shtml|accessdate=August 1, 2014|work=The Augusta Chronicle|publisher=Morris Communications|date=February 16, 2005}}</ref> Furthermore, Wolk dismissed any controversy regarding Rock's comments and that Drudge exaggerated the host's comments.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Wolk|first1=Josh|title=Rock and Roll|url=http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,1029468,00.html|accessdate=August 1, 2014|work=Entertainment Weekly|publisher=Time Warner|date=February 18, 2005}}</ref> [[GLAAD]] Executive Director Joan Garry also issue a statement in light of the controversy stating, "Chris Rock isn't making fun of gays -- he's poking fun at the Oscars."<ref>{{cite news|last1=Britt|first1=Donna|title=Drudge Takes the Oscar for 'Clueless'|url=http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A33625-2005Feb17.html|accessdate=June 14, 2014|work=The Washington Post|publisher=The Washington Post Company|date=February 18, 2005}}</ref> Rock appeared on ''[[The Tonight Show with Jay Leno]]'' the Monday before the ceremony to clarify his comments. When [[Jay Leno|Leno]] asked about the statement, Rock replied "I did not say that. I said only gay people watch the [[Tony Award|Tony]]s." However, he reiterated, "I really don't know any straight men who aren't in show business that have ever watched the Oscars."<ref>{{cite news|last1=Moloshok|first1=Danny|title=Chris Rock clarifies Oscar comments|url=http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/life/movies/movieawards/oscars/2005-02-22-rock-oscar-comments_x.htm|accessdate=August 1, 2014|work=USA Today|publisher=Gannett Company|date=February 22, 2005}}</ref>
===Damage caused===

Notable changes were made to give the ceremony a sleek, interactive look while shortening the length of the ceremony.

The vast majority of damage was done by hail and rain. Approximately 24,000 [[house]]s were significantly damaged, with many suffering [[water damage]] through the holes in roofs that the large hailstones created. The stones were estimated as travelling at up to {{convert|200|km/h|mph|abbr=on}} in some periods of the storm, causing indentation damage to around 70,000 vehicles.<ref name="NH2">Schuster, ''et al.'' (2005), 2.</ref> Twenty-three [[Airplane|planes]] and [[helicopter]]s at [[Sydney Airport]] were reported as having incurred notable damage from the hail, caused by the inability to place them under [[hangar]]s in time to avoid the storm. This has been significantly attributed to a lack of warnings from the [[Bureau of Meteorology]], who had expected the storm to continue moving further out into the [[Tasman Sea]] in the northnortheasterly direction in which it had previously been travelling.<ref name="BM18"/>


Several other people were involved with the production of the ceremony. Film composer and musician [[Bill Conti]] served as musical director of the ceremony.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Thompson|first1=Jenn|title=Oscarcast vets return|url=http://variety.com/2004/film/news/oscarcast-vets-return-1117915000/|accessdate=July 30, 2014|work=Variety|publisher=PMC|date=December 14, 2004}}</ref> AMPAS graphics designer Brett Davidson designed the official ceremony poster consisting of a profile of the Oscar statuette in front of four neon-colored squares.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Feiwell|first1=Jill|title=Acad drawn to staffer’s design|url=http://variety.com/2004/film/news/acad-drawn-to-staffer-s-design-1117913624/|accessdate=July 31, 2014|work=Variety|publisher=PMC|date=November 16, 2004}}</ref> Freelance producer Cochise and media firm Dig and Media Island released a trailer shown in movie theaters nationwide promoting the ceremony featuring clips from past Oscar ceremonies against the four squares backdrop in the aforementioned poster.

The most significant insurance costs were in the areas of residential property damage with 31.8% of total payments, motor vehicle damage with 28.6% and for properties which service the [[Trade|commercial]] and [[Industry|industrial]] sectors at 27.5%. Damage to aviation property, mainly planes at the vulnerable Sydney Airport, amounted to 5.9% of the claims, while 5.8% of all insurance payments were made for 'business interruption' and 0.4% for damage to boats as well as other miscellaneous claims.<ref name="NH2"/>


===Box office performance of nominated films===
The storm caused one fatality; a 45-year-old man, who was [[fishing]] about {{convert|100|m|sigfig=1}} from the north shore of [[Dolans Bay, New South Wales|Dolans Bay]] in the [[Port Hacking]] estuary, was killed when his boat was struck by [[lightning]].<ref name="EMA6"/> Fifty injuries were recorded, caused by flying objects, road accidents due to poor visibility and smashed windscreens and other factors.<ref name="EMA361"/><ref name="WH1034"/>
When the nominations were announced on January 25, the field of Best Picture nominees did not include a bonafide blockbuster at the U.S. [[box office]]. It was the first time since 1986 that none of the five films in that category were among the top ten releases in box office prior to the nominations announcement.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Gray|first1=Brandon|title='Aviator,' 'Million Dollar Baby' Get Best Picture Boost|url=http://www.boxofficemojo.com/news/?id=1670&p=.htm|accessdate=July 31, 2014|work=Box Office Mojo|publisher=Amazon.com|date=January 31, 2014}}</ref> Furthermore before the ceremony, all five films sold the lowest cumulative number of tickets sold since 1984.<ref>{{cite news|title=Ticket sales are slow for best-picture nominees|url=http://old.chronicle.augusta.com/stories/2005/02/17/osc_443399.shtml|accessdate=July 31, 2014|work=The August Chronicle|publisher=Morris Communications|date=February 17, 2005}}</ref> ''Ray'' was the highest grossing film among the Best Picture nominees with $73 million in domestic box office receipts.

Among the rest of the top 50 releases of 2004 in U.S. box office before the nominations, 44 nominations went to 14 films on the list. Only ''Shrek 2'' (1st), ''The Incredibles'' (4th), ''Shark Tale'' (11th), ''Collateral'' (22nd), ''Ray'' (37th), and ''The Aviator'' (49th) were nominated for Best Picture, Best Animated Feature, directing, acting, or screenwriting.<ref name="boxofficemojooscars">{{cite news|url=http://www.boxofficemojo.com/yearly/chart/?asof=2005-01-24&view=releasedate&view2=domestic&yr=2004&sort=gross&order=DESC&p=.htm |title=2004 Yearly Box Office Results (January 24, 2005) |publisher=Amazon.com |work=Box Office Mojo|accessdate=July 14, 2014}}</ref> The other top 50 box office hits that earned the nominations were ''Spider-Man 2'' (2nd), ''The Passion of the Christ'' (3rd), ''Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban'' (5th), ''The Polar Express'' (10th), ''I, Robot'' (12th), ''Troy'' (13th), ''Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events'' (18th), and ''The Village'' (20th).<ref name="boxofficemojooscars" />
===Emergency response===
[[File:1999 Sydney hailstorm cardamage.jpg|thumb|250px|The aftermath of the storm on a suburban Sydney street]]
Owing to the magnitude of the storm, the [[State Emergency Service]] were aided by the [[New South Wales Rural Fire Service]], the [[New South Wales Fire Brigades]] and the Australian Capital Territory Emergency Service in recovery work.<ref name="NH3"/> Within hours of the storm striking the city, all affected areas were declared as 'disaster zones' and the [[New South Wales Government]], under [[Premier of New South Wales|Premier]] [[Bob Carr]], invoked a [[state of emergency]], which gave control and co-ordination of the response to the State Emergency Service.<ref name="EMA4">Emergency Management Australia (2004).</ref> In the days following the storm, [[John Moore (Australian politician)|John Moore]] ([[Minister for Defence]]) approved a request for 300 [[Australian Defence Force]] personnel to assist recovery operations, although their assistance was only for one week while resources were stretched. The government, one week later, "unexpectedly" removed complete control from the State Emergency Service and placed certain suburbs and areas under the control of the Rural Fire Service and Fire Brigade.<ref name="EMA4"/><ref name="WSMS">Head (1999).</ref>


===Jude Law joke===
In the five hours following the storm striking Sydney, the State Emergency Service received 2,000 emergency calls to 1,092 separate incidents.<ref name="WA">Wilson (n.d.).</ref> In total, the State Emergency Service received 25,301 calls for assistance to 15,007 incidents, with the New South Wales Rural Fire Service also receiving 19,437.<ref name="GA">Geoscience Australia (n.d.).</ref> The recovery and clean-up mission used an estimated [[Australian dollar|A$]]10 million worth of [[tarpaulin]] covers while waiting for permanent repairs.<ref name="NH2"/>
During his monologue, host Rock joked, “[[Clint Eastwood]]’s a star, OK? [[Tobey Maguire]]’s just a boy in tights,” He also added, “You want [[Tom Cruise]] and all you can get is [[Jude Law]]? Wait. You want [[Russell Crowe]] and all you can get is Colin Farrell? Wait. ''[[Alexander (2004 film)|Alexander]]'' is not ''[[Gladiator (2000 film)|Gladiator]]''.” In response, Sean Penn rebutted Rock's remarks praising Law as one of his generation's "finest actors".<ref>{{cite news|title=Host Chris Rock comes out swinging|url=http://www.today.com/id/7042377/ns/today-today_entertainment/t/host-chris-rock-comes-out-swinging/#.U9wAcmOHRco|accessdate=August 1, 2014|work=NBC News|publisher=NBC Universal|date=February 28, 2005}}</ref> Over a year later, Law expressed his anger toward Rock in ''[[The New York Times]]'' telling columnist Craig Modderno, "At first I laughed because I didn’t think he knew who I was. Then I got angry as his remarks became personal. My friends were livid. It's unfortunate I had five or six films come out at the same time."<ref>{{cite news|last1=Modderno|first1=Craig|title=Jude Law Is an Actor in Demand|url=http://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/03/movies/03modd.html?ref=movies|accessdate=August 1, 2014|work=The New York Times|publisher=The New York Times Company|date=September 3, 2006}}</ref>


===Scrapped Robin Williams song===
After 9 days, approximately 3,000 buildings (out of a total of 127,947 initially damaged) were still waiting for assistance and temporary fixes to shattered roofs and windows, while a similar number still required assistance a further week later (as a number of tarpaulins became detached or otherwise ineffective).<ref name="NH3"/><ref name="WSMS"/> One month after the disaster, the main priority of the emergency services was ensuring that temporary fixes remained in place, as Sydney suffered further adverse weather in the period immediately following the storm.<ref name="EMA4"/><ref name="WSMS"/>
[[Robin Williams]] initially wanted to sing a humorous song written by [[Marc Shaiman]] and [[Scott Wittman]] during the presenetation of the Best Animated Feature award satirizing the controversy regarding [[Focus on the Family]] and a music video sponsored by [[We Are Family Foundation]] featuring animated characters such as [[SpongeBob SquarePants (character)|SpongeBob SquarePants]] singing the song "[[We Are Family (song)|We Are Family]]". The song contained lyrics such as "[[Pinocchio (1940 film)#Cast|Pinocchio]]'s had his nose done! [[Aurora (Disney)|Sleeping Beauty]] is popping pills!/ The [[Three Little Pigs (film)|Three Little Pigs]] ain't kosher! [[Betty Boop]] works Beverly Hills!"<ref>{{cite news|last1=Shaiman|first1=Marc|title=Robin Williams' Oscar Gag|url=http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,1033999,00.html|accessdate=August 1, 2014|work=Entertainment Weekly|publisher=Time Warner|date=March 7, 2005}}</ref> However, Cates and ABC officials deemed the song overly vulgar and offensive for the telecast and was dropped altogether after writers Shaiman and Wittman had trouble rewriting more appropriate lyrics.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Halbfinger|first1=David M.|title=Cut From the Oscars: Cartoon Characters' Sins|url=http://www.nytimes.com/2005/02/27/movies/oscars/27williams.html?8br&_r=0|accessdate=August 1, 2014|work=The New York Times|publisher=The New York Times Company|date=February 27, 2005}}</ref> Williams eventually presented the Best Animated Feature award as scheduled, but silently mocked the debacle by entering the stage with duct tape over his mouth before speaking.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Wloszczyna|first1=Susan|title=Williams will be heard but not seen|url=http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2005-03-06-robin-williams-main_x.htm|accessdate=August 1, 2014|work=USA Today|publisher=Gannett Company|date=March 7, 2005}}</ref>


===Critical reviews===
A study of a [[Sample (statistics)|sample]] taken of affected areas suggested that roughly 62% of buildings in the affected areas suffered damage to roofs, around 34% to windows and 53% to vehicles.<ref name="RL"/> Construction of infrastructure for [[2000 Sydney Olympics]] in the city's west at the time meant there was a deficiency of [[Tradesperson|tradespeople]] who could be contracted to repair roofs and windows. Estimates put between 45,000 and 50,000 tradespeople in Sydney at the time of the storm, yet owing to [[Supply and demand|high demand]] "companies were quoting householders [A]$14,000 or more for roof repairs which would normally cost $3,000."<ref name="WSMS"/> The situation led to a warning from [[Minister (government)|Minister]] for [[Consumer protection|Fair Trade]] [[John Watkins (Australian politician)|John Watkins]] on the day following the storm, urging homeowners to ensure that tradespeople working to repair homes were fully qualified and legitimate.<ref>Australian Associated Press (1999).</ref>
The show received a mixed reception from media publications. Some media outlets were more critical of the show. ''[[USA Today]]'' television critic Robert Bianco wrote, "Loud, snide and dismissive, he wasn't just a disappointment; he ranks up there with the worst hosts ever." He also called the decision to have several nominees of several technical categories stand on stage embarrassing and disrespectful.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Bianco|first1=Robert|title=Alas, format did not do Oscar proud|url=http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/life/television/news/2005-02-28-bianco-review_x.htm|accessdate=July 14, 2014|work=USA Today|publisher=Gannett Company|date=February 28, 2005}}</ref> Columnist Robert. P. Lawrence of ''[[U-T San Diego]]'' commented, "It was a frustratingly average, three-hour-12-minute exhibition of mutual admiration in the inimitable Hollywood style." He later said that despite Rock's edgy and provocative opening, his humor and energy diminished as the night wore on.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Lawrence|first1=Robert P.|title=Even Chris Rock came off as tepid and tame at the Oscars|url=http://www.utsandiego.com/uniontrib/20050228/news_1c28laurencm.html|accessdate=July 31, 2014|work=U-T San Diego|publisher=MLIM Holdings|date=February 28, 2005}}</ref> Vince Horiuchi of ''[[The Salt Lake Tribune]]'' wrote of Rock's performance, "He was bound by stale jokes (none of the winners "tested positive for steroids"), a rigid opening monologue (he didn't even make reference to his prior controversial comments about the Oscars), and tired comedy bits (Rock playing like [[Catherine Zeta-Jones]] with [[Adam Sandler]])." In addition, he also described the cast and production of the ceremony as "moribund" and "clumsy."<ref>{{cite news|last1=Horiuchi|first1=Vincent|title=If they give Oscars for boring, this year's broadcast wins big|work=The Salt Lake Tribune|publisher=MediaNew Group|date=February 28, 2005|page=C7}}</ref>

Other media outlets received the broadcast more positively. Film critic [[Roger Ebert]] noted that Rock "opened on a high-energy quick-talking note" He also added, "Chris Rock hit a home run with his opening monologue, which was surprisingly pointed, topical, and not shy of controversy."<ref>{{cite news|last1=Ebert|first1=Roger|title='Baby' Stages Late-Round Oscar Rally|url=http://www.rogerebert.com/festivals-and-awards/baby-stages-late-round-oscar-rally|accessdate=July 31, 2014|work=Chicago Sun-Times|publisher=Sun-Times Media Group|date=February 27, 2005}}</ref> Television critic [[Frazier Moore]] commented that Rock's performance was a "needed pick-me-up, presiding over the broadcast with saucy finesse." He added, "In sum, the broadcast felt brisk, though not rushed. It felt modern and refreshingly free of chronic self-importance."<ref>{{cite news|last1=Moore|first1=Frazier|title=Breezy pace scores a win for the Oscars|url=http://alb.merlinone.net/mweb/wmsql.wm.request?oneimage&imageid=6325353|accessdate=July 31, 2014|work=Times Union|publisher=Hearst Corporation|date=February 28, 2005}}</ref> Brian Lowry of ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' gave an average review of Rock but remarked, "For all the hand-wringing about the awards descending into the muck, the 77th Academy Awards proved a classy affair, with precious little red meat to satiate Hollywood bashers."<ref name="Variety Oscars" />

===Ratings and reception===
The American telecast on ABC drew in an average of 42.14 million people over its length, which was a 3% decrease from the [[76th Academy Awards|previous year's ceremony]].<ref name="Ratings">{{cite news|url=http://variety.com/2005/scene/news/fox-idol-find-sweeps-groove-1117918745/|title=Fox, ‘Idol’ find sweeps groove |last=Kiseell|first=Rick|date=March 2, 2005 | work=Variety|publisher=PMC|accessdate=July 30, 2014}}</ref> The show also drew lower [[Nielsen ratings]] compared to the two previous ceremonies with 25.4 of households watching over a 38 share.<ref name="Ratings" /><ref name="Adage">{{cite news|last1=Atkinson|first1=Claire|title=Final Oscar Ratings Contradict Early Reports | url = http://adage.com/article/media/final-oscar-tv-ratings-contradict-early-reports/45224/ | accessdate = February 6, 2015 | work = Advertising Age | publisher = Crain Communications | date = 2005-03-01}}</ref> In addition, it also drew a lower 18–49 demo rating with a 15.1 rating over a 34 share among viewers in that demographic.<ref name="Ratings" />

The 77th Academy Awards ceremony, presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), took place on February 27, 2005, at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles beginning at 5:30 p.m. PST / 8:30 p.m. EST. During the ceremony, AMPAS presented Academy Awards (commonly referred to as the Oscars) in 24 categories honoring films released in 2004. The ceremony, televised in the United States by ABC, was produced by Gil Cates and was directed by Louis J. Horvitz.[3][4] Comedian Chris Rock hosted the show for the first time.[5] Two weeks earlier in a ceremony at The Ritz-Carlton Huntington Hotel & Spa in Pasadena, California held on February 12, the Academy Awards for Technical Achievement were presented by host Scarlett Johansson.[6]

The Aviator won the most awards of the night with five.[7] Million Dollar Baby won four awards, including Best Picture. Other winners included The Incredibles, and Ray with two awards, and Born into Brothels, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Finding Neverland, Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, Mighty Times: The Children's March, The Motorcycle Diaries, Ryan, The Sea Inside, Sideways, Spider-Man 2, and Wasp each with one. The telecast garnered over 42 million viewers in the United States.

Winners and nominees

The nominees for the 77th Academy Awards were announced on January 25, 2005 at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills, California, by Frank Pierson, president of the Academy, and actor Adrien Brody.[8] The Aviator received the most nominations with eleven; Finding Neverland and Million Dollar Baby tied for second with seven nominations each.[9]

The winners were announced during the awards ceremony on February 27, 2005.[10] At age 74, Clint Eastwood became the oldest winner for Best Director in Oscar history.[11] With his latest unsuccessful nomination for directing The Aviator, nominee Martin Scorsese joined Robert Altman, Clarence Brown, Alfred Hitchcock, and King Vidor as the most nominated individuals in the Best Director category without a single win at the time.[12] Best Actor winner Jamie Foxx became the second actor and tenth individual overall to earn two acting nominations in the same year.[13] By virtue of her portrayal of Katharine Hepburn, Best Supporting Actress winner Cate Blanchett was the first performer to portray a previous Oscar winner.[14] "Al otro lado del río" from The Motorcycle Diaries became the second song with non-English lyrics to win Best Original Song. The first to achieve this feat was the titular song from the 1960 Greek film Never on Sunday at the 33rd Academy Awards.[15]

Ceremony information

Chris Rock hosted the 77th Academy Awards

Opting for a younger face in an attempt to increase viewership, while renewing interest with the nominated films, producer Gil Cates selected actor and comedian Chris Rock to host the 2005 ceremony.[5] Cates explained his decision to hire Rock for the telecast in a press release saying, "I am a huge fan of Chris Rock. He always makes me laugh and he always has something interesting to say. Chris represents the best of the new generation of comics. Having him host the Oscars is terrific. I can't wait."[24] By virtue of his selection, Rock became the first African American man to solo host the gala.[25]

Nearly a month before the ceremony Rock told Josh Wolk of Entertainment Weekly, "Come on, it's a fashion show. No one performs; it's not like a music show. What straight black man sits there and watches the Oscars? Show me one."[26] Political blogger Matt Drudge later reported that several anonymous AMPAS members wanted Rock fired from his hosting job as a result of the comments.[27] Nevertheless, producer Cates issued a statement defending the host saying, "Chris' comments are meant to be humorous digs at a show that some people, obviously including Chris himself, think may be a bit too stuffy."[28] Furthermore, Wolk dismissed any controversy regarding Rock's comments and that Drudge exaggerated the host's comments.[29] GLAAD Executive Director Joan Garry also issue a statement in light of the controversy stating, "Chris Rock isn't making fun of gays -- he's poking fun at the Oscars."[30] Rock appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno the Monday before the ceremony to clarify his comments. When Leno asked about the statement, Rock replied "I did not say that. I said only gay people watch the Tonys." However, he reiterated, "I really don't know any straight men who aren't in show business that have ever watched the Oscars."[31]

Notable changes were made to give the ceremony a sleek, interactive look while shortening the length of the ceremony. Cates announced that in certain categories, all five nominees would be up onstage prior to the announcement of the award.[32] In other instances, the actor or actress would present the award in the audience.[33] In addition, production designer Roy Christopher designed an technologically ambitious stage for the telecast that both saluted the past while look toward the future. The set prominently featured 26 high-definition video monitors floating over the first twelve rows of the audience and a 40-foot LED screen situated beneath a layer of plexiglass on the stage floor.[34] Both screens were used display images of previous Oscar appearances as presenters took the stage or random film clips during several commercial breaks.[35] A gold rod featuring 23 different life-sized Oscar statuettes spiraling upward was placed at center stage.[36]

Several other people were involved with the production of the ceremony. Film composer and musician Bill Conti served as musical director of the ceremony.[37] AMPAS graphics designer Brett Davidson designed the official ceremony poster consisting of a profile of the Oscar statuette in front of four neon-colored squares.[38] Freelance producer Cochise and media firm Dig and Media Island released a trailer shown in movie theaters nationwide promoting the ceremony featuring clips from past Oscar ceremonies against the four squares backdrop in the aforementioned poster. The trailer featured the song "Hey Mama" by The Black Eyed Peas.[39] Two-time Oscar winning actor Dustin Hoffman narrated the opening montage highlighting the evolution of the movies.[21]

Box office performance of nominated films

When the nominations were announced on January 25, the field of Best Picture nominees did not include a bonafide blockbuster at the U.S. box office. It was the first time since 1986 that none of the five films in that category were among the top ten releases in box office prior to the nominations announcement.[40] Furthermore before the ceremony, all five films sold the lowest cumulative number of tickets sold since 1984.[41] Ray was the highest grossing film among the Best Picture nominees with $73 million in domestic box office receipts. The film was followed by The Aviator ($58.4 million), Finding Neverland ($32.7 million), Sideways ($32.4 million), and finally Million Dollar Baby ($8.4 million).[42] The combined gross of the five Best Picture nominees when the Oscars were announced was $205 million with an average gross of $41.3 million per film.[42]

Among the rest of the top 50 releases of 2004 in U.S. box office before the nominations, 44 nominations went to 14 films on the list. Only Shrek 2 (1st), The Incredibles (4th), Shark Tale (11th), Collateral (22nd), Ray (37th), and The Aviator (49th) were nominated for Best Picture, Best Animated Feature, directing, acting, or screenwriting.[43] The other top 50 box office hits that earned the nominations were Spider-Man 2 (2nd), The Passion of the Christ (3rd), Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (5th), The Polar Express (10th), I, Robot (12th), Troy (13th), Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (18th), and The Village (20th).[43]

Jude Law joke

During his monologue, host Rock joked, “Clint Eastwood’s a star, OK? Tobey Maguire’s just a boy in tights,” He also added, “You want Tom Cruise and all you can get is Jude Law? Wait. You want Russell Crowe and all you can get is Colin Farrell? Wait. Alexander is not Gladiator.” In response, Sean Penn rebutted Rock's remarks praising Law as one of his generation's "finest actors".[44] Over a year later, Law expressed his anger toward Rock in The New York Times telling columnist Craig Modderno, "At first I laughed because I didn’t think he knew who I was. Then I got angry as his remarks became personal. My friends were livid. It's unfortunate I had five or six films come out at the same time."[45]

Scrapped Robin Williams song

Robin Williams initially wanted to sing a humorous song written by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman during the presenetation of the Best Animated Feature award satirizing the controversy regarding Focus on the Family and a music video sponsored by We Are Family Foundation featuring animated characters such as SpongeBob SquarePants singing the song "We Are Family". The song contained lyrics such as "Pinocchio's had his nose done! Sleeping Beauty is popping pills!/ The Three Little Pigs ain't kosher! Betty Boop works Beverly Hills!"[46] However, Cates and ABC officials deemed the song overly vulgar and offensive for the telecast and was dropped altogether after writers Shaiman and Wittman had trouble rewriting more appropriate lyrics.[47] Williams eventually presented the Best Animated Feature award as scheduled, but silently mocked the debacle by entering the stage with duct tape over his mouth before speaking.[48]

Critical reviews

The show received a mixed reception from media publications. Some media outlets were more critical of the show. USA Today television critic Robert Bianco wrote, "Loud, snide and dismissive, he wasn't just a disappointment; he ranks up there with the worst hosts ever." He also called the decision to have several nominees of several technical categories stand on stage embarrassing and disrespectful.[49] Columnist Robert. P. Lawrence of U-T San Diego commented, "It was a frustratingly average, three-hour-12-minute exhibition of mutual admiration in the inimitable Hollywood style." He later said that despite Rock's edgy and provocative opening, his humor and energy diminished as the night wore on.[50] Vince Horiuchi of The Salt Lake Tribune wrote of Rock's performance, "He was bound by stale jokes (none of the winners "tested positive for steroids"), a rigid opening monologue (he didn't even make reference to his prior controversial comments about the Oscars), and tired comedy bits (Rock playing like Catherine Zeta-Jones with Adam Sandler)." In addition, he also described the cast and production of the ceremony as "moribund" and "clumsy."[51]

Other media outlets received the broadcast more positively. Film critic Roger Ebert noted that Rock "opened on a high-energy quick-talking note" He also added, "Chris Rock hit a home run with his opening monologue, which was surprisingly pointed, topical, and not shy of controversy."[52] Television critic Frazier Moore commented that Rock's performance was a "needed pick-me-up, presiding over the broadcast with saucy finesse." He added, "In sum, the broadcast felt brisk, though not rushed. It felt modern and refreshingly free of chronic self-importance."[53] Brian Lowry of Variety gave an average review of Rock but remarked, "For all the hand-wringing about the awards descending into the muck, the 77th Academy Awards proved a classy affair, with precious little red meat to satiate Hollywood bashers."[2]

Ratings and reception

The American telecast on ABC drew in an average of 42.14 million people over its length, which was a 3% decrease from the previous year's ceremony.[54] The show also drew lower Nielsen ratings compared to the two previous ceremonies with 25.4 of households watching over a 38 share.[54][55] In addition, it also drew a lower 18–49 demo rating with a 15.1 rating over a 34 share among viewers in that demographic.[54]

In Memoriam

The annual In Memoriam tribute was presented by actress Annette Benning. Musician Yo-Yo Ma performed during the segment.[20]

A special tribute to five-time host Johnny Carson was presented by host Chris Rock with previous emcee Whoopi Goldberg discussing Carson's legacy to television and the Academy Awards in the segment.[56] Later in the broadcast, Best Actor winner Jamie Foxx briefly eulogized singer and musician Ray Charles, who died in June 2004, during his acceptance speech.[57]
