    Oscars were still glamorous at this time. Just note the names that are mentioned: Bon Jovi, John Williams, the Godfather and in the audience there is MADONNA sitting next to MICHAEL JACKSON. Nothing gets close these days.

      No she didn’t win the Oscar, but that doesn’t mean she was any failure. Highest selling female artist of all time. Rock n Roll Hall of Fame on her first year of eligibility. She has something a lot of Oscar winners wish they had, and it’s more valuable than an award. She has the kind of fame that will last long after she’s gone. Like Judy Garland or Marilyn Monroe, neither won an Oscar. But 50/60 years after they’re gone everyone still knows their names

      alex blend~Sadly it’s true, those of us who love her know she writes & produces almost all of her music/art. She rarely even gets recognized for the breadth of her talents. Yes, they don’t nominate, and they certainly don’t give her the award for any song from a movie she’s written & sung (she barely has gotten Grammy accolades that she’s richly deserved). Oscars is such a snobby bunch, well all awards but maybe Golden Globes, which Madonna is the winner of as Best Actress(yeah Best Actress!!). But it’s enraging how they ignore her achievements in so many places and areas. Only when she’s gone will they realize that she’s totally rewritten the book on how to be a female entertainer from start to finish, top to bottom and they all mimic her now, all of them!! She’s the very best the worlds ever seen. Check the Guinness Book of World Records if you think I’m making up that “she is the best” she’s certified as “The Worlds most successful female recording artist in History!!”, no one else is even close in the whole world!

      No matter if you like them or not, they´re both called king and queen for a reason, right? Even if it´s a fantasy.

    By this time of the show did she already performed the song or was it later on?

      She had already performed. They don't give out this award until all 5 (usually) nominees have been performed.

    I know that Ann Margret appeared in a few films from the 60's like Bye Bye Birdie, The Pleasure Seekers, State Fair, and one of my favorites, Viva Las Vegas.
