The Oscars will honor the 75th anniversary of “The Wizard of Oz,” a best picture nominee in 1939, show producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron announced today.
“We are delighted to celebrate the birthday of one of the most beloved movies of all time at this year’s Oscars,” said Zadan and Meron.
“The Wizard of Oz” received six Oscar nominations, winning two for Original Score and Song. Oscars for outstanding film achievements of 2013 will be presented on Oscar Sunday, March 2, 2014, at the Dolby Theatre® at Hollywood & Highland Center® and televised live on the ABC Television Network.

I have no idea what’s planned. I just hope it’s good.

I hope so too. It deserves a really epic tribute. Probably a lot of singing?

¯\_(?????? ?)_/¯
It was neat that Ellen dressed up as Glinda and was “late” for the tribute and Whoopi had on the WWE’s stripped socks and the red shoes. Pink’s performance of Some Where Over the Rainbow was sweet too.
Nothing is impossible on OUAT. Everything has a way of repeating itself. Keeper of the Keeper tread: https://oncepodcast.com/forums/topic/official-keeper-thread-3/#post-217924
The homage to The Wizard of Oz film from 1939 was perhaps the best of this years Oscars show. Pink nailed her song this night.
Not so someone else. As much as I adore Idina Menzel, don’t think it was her best performance this Oscar night. Some think she did good, but she was slightly off at times IMO (it can be a difference though to hear something indeed live or via broadcast). But wait, that wasn’t Idina Menzel on stage, right, that was some Adele Dazeem (who has a Twitter account, if you’re looking for updates on this new musical talent). LOL No idea what verbal acrobatics Travolta was doing there, but can they please refrain in the future from bringing him on stage as presenter?!
Whoopi Goldberg’s little beat with the stocks and shoes was cute. And, Ellen as Glinda: Glorious.
Was interesting that this homage was embeded in the overall hero theme of this show. Right, heroes was the theme of this 86th awards show, if you haven’t noticed, but it was possible to miss it. The montages they did were some huge reminder, how lopsided the hero idea is still realized in Hollywood, the majority of heroes was and still is white men. Overdue to change that -more movies with women and people of color as protagonists and heroes, and maybe as well some movies exploring different kind of heroes – a hero doesn’t need a gun or sword or fancy martial art moves to be a hero, see Dorothy. And yes, you can even make money with that stuff and get merits, see Gravity. Cate Blanchett said it (and I love her for most of her speech, but loved her before, and am aware it was a bit of walking on egg-shells for her considering the situation with W. Allen).
Anyway. Good that at least a show like OUaT is around offering some different ideas on heroism.

Regarding the now famous “Adele Dazeem” incident, Travolta did issue and apology(?), if you wanna call it that
