Could somebody please tell me who presented the awards for the following categories?
Also, what did Gwyneth Paltrow present exactly? I need this as soon as possible. Thanks. -- 172.161.213.136 11:01, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
*Well, she presented a more womanly figure than in the past. She's finally shedding that anorexic look. However, she has a long ways to go before reaching the level of Jennifer Hudson and Queen Latifah's scrumptiousness, a point on which John Travolta commented.

The last Mistake listed is "Jack Black referred to Peter O'Toole as 'English'." That may not have been a mistake since Peter O'Toole famously played the character of Lawrence of Arabia, who was nicknamed "English" by several characters in that movie. Can anyone confirm what was actually said by Jack Black and how he said it? Sgettle ( talk) 21:34, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
A mistake was made early in on the show
Jaden Smith didn't make the mistake, but Abigail Breslin did. Smith commented "I don't think that's the line"
I changed the bit about Peter O'Toole speaking with an English accent rather than a British accent. I felt that British is to vague.
What was up with Al Gore, wasn't his speach cut. Could someone add that into the mistake article. Or anywhere els. -- 88.247.29.39 15:37, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
In the article it says that Kirsten Dunst and Toby Macguire presented the best adapted screenplay, but it was they in fact who presented best *original* Screenplay. All that needs to be done is switch the presentations beside Tom Hanks and the actress with whom he presented best adapted screenplay with those of Kirsten and Toby. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.101.96.39 ( talk) 17:20, 26 February 2007 (UTC).
I can't beleive this article lists in GREAT detail all the presenters of the awards, but doesn't even bother to list all the awards and their nominees. What a slanted, non-encyclopaedic article with a bizarre set of priorities. 81.157.197.171 18:23, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
The In Memoriam tribute was presented by Jodie Foster this year. The Academy took a moment to remember the artists gone in 2006: Glenn Ford, Bruno Kirby, Alida Valli, songwriter Betty Comden, Jane Wyatt, Don Knotts, Red Buttons, director Gillo Pontecorvo, Darren McGavin, director Richard Fleischer, cinematographer Sven Nykvist, producer/cartoonist Joseph Barbera, Tamara Dobson, set designer Gretchen Rau, June Allyson, director Gordon Parks, Phillippe Noiret, Maureen Stapleton, Jack Wild, director Vincent Sherman, James Doohan, director Shohei Imamura, producer Carlo Ponti, Peter Boyle, cinematogapher James Glennon, screenwriter Sidney Sheldon, Jack Palance, Mako, Jack Warden, composer Basil Poledouris, art director Henry Bumstead, screenwriter Jay Presson Allen and director Robert Altman.
What's the point in making it a separate article though? Most years have a list of all the winners. It's not like there are 100+ categories like the grammys. 142.68.89.100 ( talk) 23:10, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
If this article is going to be a FA/GA anytime soon, there should not be a trivia section. Secondly, the tables shouldn't be changed to a wikitable, because they are based upon last year's format. For this, I have replaced the wikitable with the correct table. Thanks! Real96 19:58, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
I spun through my tape of the Oscars and made a few corrections, then decided to put them in order of appearance, also "left-to-right" on the stage. If anyone has a problem with this approach, speak up. :) Wahkeenah 05:11, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
Somebody or several somebodies with a lot of free time needs to go through all the old articles and standardize their formats. 24.61.101.183 18:38, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
I notice Wikipedia has a locked article and no way to update the external links. This is grossly unfair because one site, The Envelope, is able to be linked as an external source while another, oscarwatch.com, is not. This is wrong on so many levels but especially because it does what wikipedia should never do: play favorites. Please unlock the article so that other more well established, independent sites can also add information.
Thank you. Sasha Stone editor, Oscarwatch.com —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bipedalist ( talk • contribs) 16:57, 28 March 2007 (UTC).
Would it be possible to add a list of which people were honored in the memorial tribute clip?
During several automated bot runs the following external link was found to be unavailable. Please check if the link is in fact down and fix or remove it in that case!

Documentary filmmaker Errol Morris filmed another vignette featuring several Oscar nominees discussing what it means to be an Oscar nominee, when was this shown ? Xb2u7Zjzc32 ( talk) 14:20, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
