It's remarkable how much the Academy Awards of 20 years ago — that is to say, the ones that aired in 2002 — look like the ones of today.
But Washington wasn't the only one making history that night: Halle Berry became the first Black actress to win a leading role Oscar, for"Monster's Ball.", saying the moment was"so much bigger" than she was. She then dedicated the Oscar to"every nameless, faceless woman of color that now has a chance.", the moment was one of her biggest"heartbreaks."
But by 2002, animated features were everywhere, and more were on the way. The rule now states that unless there are eight films presented as possible nominees, there would be no award that year. Nathan Lane introduced the category and the nominees, then quipped,"Gosh, up until now I thought 'Monsters, Inc.' was a documentary on the Weinsteins." Ahem.Robert Redford with the honorary Oscar Barbra Streisand presented him at the 2002 ceremony.Two classic love stories reunited their stars to help with special honors, and it was a treat seeing"The Way We Were" stars Robert Redford and Barbra Streisand hanging out again .
Alas, not everyone has the staying power of the Smiths or the Hill/McGraws. Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe married in 1999 and split in 2007, but on this night they were a couple set to present the best makeup award on stage.
