In keeping with the theme of the evening, numerous film scores from various motion pictures were played intermittently throughout the ceremony; most notable was John Williams' theme music from Jaws, which was used to goad winners off the stage if their acceptance speeches were overly long.
Agar sejalan dengan tema sore hari, sejumlah musik film dari berbagai film dimainkan bergantian di sepanjang acara tersebut, yang paling terkenal adalah musik tema buatan John Williams dari film Jaws, yang dipakai untuk meminta para pemenang keluar dari panggung jika pidato penerimaan mereka terlalu panjang.
