The 48th Academy Awards were presented March 29, 1976 at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, Los Angeles. The ceremonies were presided over by Walter Matthau, Robert Shaw, George Segal, Goldie Hawn, and Gene Kelly. This year, ABC took over broadcast rights from NBC, and continues to hold them today.

The most successful film of the ceremony was Miloš Forman's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, which became the first film since It Happened One Night to perform a "clean sweep" of the top categories; that is, winning Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director and Best Screenplay (Adapted).

At age 80, George Burns became the oldest acting winner ever to that date. He was topped in 1990 by Jessica Tandy who was also 80 at the time, but older by a few months. He held the record for the oldest male and oldest supporting win until Christopher Plummer won in 2012 for Beginners at the age of 82.

Jaws became the last film to be nominated for Best Picture and to win all of its awards except for Picture until Traffic 25 years later.
