The 62nd Academy Awards were presented March 26, 1990 at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles, California. The venue, half the size of the one used the previous year, prompted Gil Cates (the producer of the telecast) and Karl Malden (the president of the Academy) to put a memo to "our friends in the industry" in the March 13th edition of the Daily Variety saying "Please understand: the tickets are gone" and pointing out that "next year we'll be back in comparatively spacious quarters, and then we'll try to find room for every Academy member who wants to attend, and maybe even some of the aunts, archibishops, and visitors from Abu Dhabi who are your houseguests that weekend."
The event, billed as Around the World in 3½ Hours - The 62d Academy Awards Presentation, featured live segments from five other cities around the globe:
Buenos Aires, Argentina
London, United Kingdom
Moscow, Soviet Union (featuring Jack Lemmon and Natalya Negoda announcing the Oscar nominees for best foreign film)
Sydney, Australia
Tokyo, Japan
This was the first telecast hosted by Billy Crystal; he would host the show seven more times over the next fifteen years. Crystal opened the ceremony with a song about the nominees for best picture, something he would do for every ceremony he hosted.
