Writers strike effects

The 2007–08 Writers Guild of America strike created uncertainty regarding the 2008 Awards. Although the strike was lifted before the date of the Awards, this occured less than two weeks before and therefore long-term planning was difficult.

On December 18 2007, the striking Writers Guild of America denied a waiver requested by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in connection with film clips and excerpts from previous award ceremonies to be shown at the 2008 awards. The material could have still been used though, as the denial only affected the conditions under which the clips are shown.[13] In anticipation that the strike would continue through Oscar Night, the Academy developed a Plan B show that would not have included actors accepting their awards. It would have included the musical numbers, but would have relied heavily on historic film clips, emphasizing the 80th anniversary of the awards.[14] The popular after-show party, the Vanity Fair party, was cancelled in support of the strike.[15] However, the strike was lifted on February 12, as a result of a deal reached by the WGA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers introduced three days earlier. Therefore, the fear of picketing writers and boycotting actors (as a result of solidarity by the Screen Actors Guild) was eliminated, and the ceremony proceeded as normal.[16]

Notable events

When Markéta Irglová was awarded the Academy Award for Best Original Song with Glen Hansard for "Falling Slowly," her acceptance speech after Hansard's was preempted by the orchestra's music cue to leave the stage. In an unprecedented move, she was invited back on stage to deliver her acceptance speech following the commercial break.
