Die 61ste Oscar-toekenningsaand is op 29 Maart 1989 deur die Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in Los Angeles gehou om erkenning te gee aan die rolprente van 1988. Daar was geen amptelike aanbieder nie. Die Oscars vir tegniese prestasies in 10 dae vroeër in die Beverly Hills Hotel gehou..^[1]

Rain Man en Who Framed Roger Rabbit het elk vier Oscars gewen. Eersgenoemde is ook as die beste rolprent aangewys.^[2]

Omstredenheid

In ’n poging om meer TV-kykers te lok het die Academy die rolprentvervaardiger Allan Carr gehuur vir die uitsending.^[3] Hy wou meer luister aan die seremonie verleen en het ’n openingsitem saamgestel wat gebaseer was op die musiekrevue Beach Blanket Babylon. Hy het die skepper daarvan, Steve Silver, gehuur om die toneel saam met hom te skep.^[4]

Die seremonie het gemengde reaksie ontlok. Dit is onder meer beskryf as "sonder towerkrag",^[5] en as ’n verleentheid. Altesaam 17 mense, onder andere die akteurs Paul Newman, Gregory Peck en Julie Andrews, het ’n ope brief onderteken waarin die seremonie beskryf is as "’n verleentheid vir beide die Academy en die hele rolprentbedryf".^[6]

Die vervaardigers van volgende Oscar-aande het daarna gebruik gemaak van kort tonele uit rolprente eerder as lewende items.^[4] Die eerste seremonie wat weer ’n uitspattige "Broadway-tipe" openingsitem gehad het, was die 74ste Oscar-toekenningsaand in 2002.
