Madonna wasn't about to hand out the visual effects trophy.

Warren Beatty needed a while to decide if he would participate at alL Scores of intriguing deals and compromises lurk behind the scenes at the Academy Awards, but few match the politicking and power plays linked to the secretive selection of award presenters.

Stallone would have preferred to deliver best picture but that honor went to Carol Burnett "Everybody wants to give the major awards from best picture back," Koch said. "It's a continuing negotiation from November until you're on the air. It's a thankless job." Gil Cates, the producer of this and last year's Academy Awards, said a handful of performers are frustratingly non-committal "Some actors respond very quickly in one or two days," Cates said.
