The award was also not televised. The award was hosted by comedian Rose Marie.[1] This ceremony was also the introduction of the "ACE Golden Eddie Filmmaker of the Year Award" award, which was won by Acadaemy-winning director and former editor Robert Wise.[1][2]Julie Andrews, who previously won "Best Actress" awards in the last two ceremonies, presented the award to Wise.[1]
