In this episode we discuss the sixty-eighth Best Picture winner, Braveheart! Quincy Jones takes on the role of producing the ceremony, Whoopi Goldberg comes back to host, and the yearly themes of Gil Cates are gone. Braveheart surprises everyone by winning Best Picture and Best Director over Apollo 13, Sense and Sensibility, Ron Howard, and Ang Lee, and Mel Gibson is seen in a new light by the industry. We talk about the making of Braveheart, Randall Wallace’s inspiration for writing the screenplay, Alan Ladd Jr.’s involvement in the project, and Mel Gibson’s reluctance and eventual acceptance of the role of William Wallace.
