Where can I find it?


Where can I find the entire show or at least sequence of Best Actor in Leading Role? I would love to see audiences reaction when Peter Sellers is nominated.

I have the show on tape and if it's any consolation, there are no reaction shots to Peter Sellers. As a matter of fact, Peter did not attend this event. Nor did he attend when nominated for Dr. Strangelove. Peter Sellers NEVER attended an Oscar ceremony and was on record denouncing the awards!
As to 1979 Al Pacino and Roy Scheider also did not attend. Roy was performing on Broadway in BETRAYAL at the time and Al was in his anti-Oscars days. The only Best Actor nominees present were Dustin and Jack Lemmon. Dustin won-- after years of dissing the awards before realizing the only way to solid career longevity is to win one.
Al later came around to the Oscars-- and won for one of the worst performances of his career!!
