Summary

Bram Stoker's Dracula by director Francis Ford Coppola was able to win three Oscars. The film Aladdin was also doubly successful by receiving the two music Oscars. After Al Pacino for his performance in The Godfather and The Godfather - Part II was only nominated, he succeeded this time, for Scent of a Woman as best actor to win an Oscar.
Adolfo Aristarain's A Place in this World was originally nominated as a contribution by Uruguay in the category Best Foreign Language Film, but was subsequently removed from the nomination list as an invalid entry because the film was produced in Argentina.
