Producer Deeley made a deal with fellow producer David Puttnam, whose film Midnight Express was nominated, that each would take $500 to the ceremony so if one of them won, the winner would give the loser the $500 to "drown his sorrows in style."
Producent Deeley je sklopio dogovor s producentom Davidom Puttnamom čiji je film Ponoćni ekspres također bio nominiran da će svatko uzeti 500 dolara sa sobom na ceremoniju te da će pobjednik dati taj novac onom drugom kako bi "utopio svoju tugu sa stilom".
