The 49th Academy Awards were presented March 28, 1977, at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, Los Angeles. The ceremonies were presided over by Richard Pryor, Jane Fonda, Ellen Burstyn, and Warren Beatty.

This Academy Awards ceremony is notable for Peter Finch becoming the first posthumous winner of an Oscar for acting, a feat only matched by Heath Ledger 32 years later. Beatrice Straight set another record by becoming the actor with shortest performance ever in a film to win an acting Oscar, with only five minutes and forty seconds of screentime in Network.^{[citation needed]}

While another interesting notable thing that happened was that Piper Laurie who was nominated for Carrie got her first nomination 15 years earlier for The Hustler had no roles inbetween those 2 films. Meaning that her 1st and 2nd nomination were for 2 consecutive roles, yet separated by 15 years.
