Favorite Oscar Moments, Part XV
Today is our final Favorite Oscar Moments issue. We end it with a shared passion and two honorary awards form one favorite.
Peter J. Patrick
1972, 45th Academy Awards
Edward G. Robinson receives an honorary Oscar posthumously and Rosalind Russell receives the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award.
Wesley Lovell & Tripp Burton
1990, 63rd Academy Awards
Wesley: What I remember most about Madonna's first performance at the Oscars, is just how nervous she was. Here is one of the world's most successful and popular women in pop music, performing before one of the most legendary awards-giving bodies in the world, and you can hear the occasional quiver in her voice and see her hands shake periodically. Despite those nerves, she still delivers a wonderful, elegant performance that shows even the most popular artists in the world understand how glamorous the Oscars should be.
Tripp: The first time I watched the Oscars was to stay up to see this, and I don't think anyone has ever been as sexy, sultry or perfectly pitched at the Oscars as she was here.

I seem to recall that when Lionel Richie and Diana Ross sang Endless Love he was so nervous that she had to hold his hand.
