This awards broadcast included the presence five cast members from The Great Escape (1963)--Steve McQueen was a nominee for Best Actor in a Drama, with Richard Attenborough winning the award for Best Supporting Actor, both for the film The Sand Pebbles (1966), and with James Garner, James Coburn and David McCallum all appearing as presenters--this reunion representing by far the greatest assembly of "Great Escape" actors apart from the original film.
