The 41st Annual Academy Awards were the first Academy Awards ceremony broadcast worldwide. There was no host. Oliver! became the first G-rated film to win the Academy Award for Best Picture. In stark contrast, the following year would see the only X-rated film to win Best Picture: Midnight Cowboy.
As the special effects director and designer for 2001: A Space Odyssey, Stanley Kubrick was the recipient of the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects this year. It was the only Oscar he would ever win. Also, the year was noted for the first - and so far, the only - tie for Best Actress (or any female acting category). Katharine Hepburn in The Lion in Winter and Barbra Streisand in Funny Girl shared the award. Hepburn also became the second actress to win Best Actress two years in a row, after Luise Rainer in 1936 (The Great Ziegfeld) - 1937 (The Good Earth). The previous year, Hepburn won Best Actress for Guess Who's Coming to Dinner.
