The 71st Annual Academy Awards ceremony, Sunday, March 21, 1999, was the last to take place at Los Angeles County Music Center, and was Whoopi Goldberg's third time hosting the Awards. It was the first time the ceremony took place on a Sunday. The Academy Award ceremony ran extremely long, due largely to extended acceptance speeches. Interestingly, three of the films nominated for Best Picture (Life is Beautiful, Saving Private Ryan, The Thin Red Line) were set in World War II, while the other two films nominated (Shakespeare In Love & Elizabeth) were set in Elizabethan England.
