Comic/Performance Highlights: Halfway through the 2002 show, Whoopi comments on Best Picture frontrunner accolades so far: "For those of you keeping track, the score is Brilliant Mathematicians 2, Hobbits 4." With the ceremony dealing with the somber tone of airing just months after 9/11, Whoopi exits the stage paying tribute to the NYPD, NYFD, PAPD and more, stitched on the back of her gown.
Best Picture Winners: 'A Beautiful Mind' ('02), 'Shakespeare in Love' ('99), 'Braveheart' ('96), 'Schindler's List' ('94)
