'' She added that her role in the upcoming movie Bogus would jeopardize her busy schedule. In addition, her Comic Relief co-host and veteran Oscar emcee Billy Crystal also declined to host the show citing his commitment to his film Forget Paris which he directed, written, starred, and produced. Producer Gil Cates hired actor, comedian, and Late Show host David Letterman as host of the 1995 ceremony. Cates explained his decision to hire the late night talk show host saying, `` He 's punctual, he 's well groomed, and he knows how to keep an audience awake. '' ABC entertainment president Ted Harbert also approved of the choice stating, `` If Dave likes the experience, this could be a great answer for the show, just the way Johnny Carson did the show for many years. '' As with previous ceremonies he produced, Cates centered the show around a theme. This year, he christened the show with the theme `` Comedy and the Movies '' commenting `` This year, because of the earthquakes and floods and Bosnia and Rwanda, it was a ( terrible ) year, and therefore seemed a great year to celebrate what movies can really give us, which is an opportunity to go for two hours in the dark and laugh together. Even with television, it 's not a community experience unless you have a very big family. So it 's unique to movies and theater, and it 's this very human thing. '' In tandem with the theme, the ceremony 's opening number featured a montage produced by Chuck Workman featuring scenes of humorous moments from a variety of both comedic and non-comedic films. During that segment, actors Tim Curry, Kathy Najimy, and Mara Wilson performing a modified version of the song `` Make ' Em Laugh '' from the film Singin ' in the Rain. Several collections of film clips were shown throughout the broadcast highlighting various aspects of comedy such as troupes and dialogue. Several other people were also involved with the production of the ceremony. Bill Conti served as musical director and conductor for the event. Production designer Roy Christopher designed a new stage for the ceremony which prominently featured a proscenium which was designed to resemble the iris of a camera. Moreover, Christopher commented that the iris motif was inspired by the iris shot prominently featured in several comedic films and shorts. Dancer Debbie Allen choreographed The Lion King musical number. Actors Alec Baldwin, Jack Lemmon, Steve Martin, and Rosie O'Donnell participated in a pre-taped comedic sketch lampooning auditions for a role in Cabin Boy, the film in which Letterman made his film acting debut. Box office performance of nominees At the time of the nominations announcement on February 14, the combined gross of the five Best Picture nominees at the US box office was $468 million, with an average of $93.6 million per film. Forrest Gump was the highest earner among the Best Picture nominees with $300 million in domestic box office receipts. The film was followed by Pulp Fiction ( $76 million ), Four Weddings and a Funeral ( $52 million ), The Shawshank Redemption ( $16 million ) and Quiz Show ( $21 million ). Of the top 50 grossing movies of the year, 44 nominations went to 14 films on the list. Only Forrest Gump ( 2nd ), The Client ( 12th ), Pulp Fiction ( 14th ), Four Weddings and a Funeral ( 20th ), and Nell ( 41st ) were nominated for directing, acting, screenwriting, or Best Picture. The other top 50 box office hits that earned nominations were The Lion King ( 1st ), True Lies ( 3rd ), Clear and Present Danger ( 6th ), Speed ( 7th ), The Mask ( 8th ), Interview with the Vampire ( 10th ), Maverick ( 11th ), Legends of the Fall ( 27th ) and Little Women ( 31st ). Critical reception The show received a negative reception from most media publications. John J. O'Connor of The New York Times wrote, `` Instead of keeping things moving smartly, Mr. Letterman stuck with his late - night shtick, too often leaving the show 's pacing in shambles. '' He also added, `` Within the show 's first half - hour, with no strong hand at the helm, the audience simply sagged. Applause died long before most winners even reached the podium. '' Television critic John Carman of the San Francisco Chronicle commented, `` Last night on ABC, no one got it. Hollywood 's big event was wonderfully littered by technical errors, bad taste, low comedy and lower necklines. '' Moreover, he remarked, `` Letterman, the rookie host, was off his game in his opening monologue. Maybe it was the big auditorium. Or a billion people in the television audience. '' Film critic Andrew Sarris of The New York Observer quipped, `` Not only was he not witty or funny, he never knew when to let bad enough alone. '' He concluded, `` As the evening dragged on, it became obvious that Mr. Letterman had no gift for ad - libbing through the few unpredictable opportunities in a ' live ' event like the Oscars. '' People named the ceremony as one of the worst television broadcasts of 1995, remarking that Letterman was `` a cranky skeptic ( who ) visit ( ed ) the high temple of show business, mock ( ed ) the gold - plated statuary and display ( ed ) insufficient reverence for the gods. ( Tom Hanks assisting with a stupid pet trick ? ! ) We know who the winner was n't. '' Some media outlets received the broadcast more positively. Television critic Joyce Millman of The San Francisco Examiner noted, `` In his first stint as host of the Oscar telecast, David Letterman did the impossible -- he made something entertaining from what is traditionally the most boring three hours of TV this side of a test pattern. '' The Buffalo News columnist Alan Pergament praised Letterman 's performance as host writing `` David Letterman was a box full of chocolates on an Oscar night that was empty of much emotion until the expected Forrest Gump sweep in the final 15 minutes. '' He also added that despite a lack of surprises amongst the awards, the emotional and unexpected humorous moments provided depth and entertainment throughout the evening. Hal Boedeker of the Orlando Sentinel gave an average review of the ceremony but singled out Letterman noting that he `` proved Monday night that he 's among Oscar 's Top 10 Hosts. He 's definitely at the top of the list with Johnny Carson, Billy Crystal and Bob Hope. '' Ratings and reception The American telecast on ABC drew in an average of 48.28 million people over its length, which was a 7 % increase from the previous year 's ceremony. An estimated 81 million total viewers watched all or part of the awards. The show also drew higher Nielsen ratings compared to the previous ceremony with 32.5 % of households watching over a 53 share. In addition, it also drew a higher 18 -- 49 demo rating with a 21.7 rating among viewers in that demographic. It was the most watched Oscars telecast since the 55th ceremony held in 1983. In July 1995, the ceremony presentation received six nominations at the 47th Primetime Emmys. Two months later, the ceremony won one of those nominations for Jeff Margolis 's direction of the telecast.
