Mark Hamill and Billy Dee Williams accepted the award for Favorite Motion Picture for Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980). Larry Hagman was among the stars of Dallas (1978) accepting the award for Favorite TV Series - Drama. For Hamill and Hagman this awards broadcast is their only shared credit other than having both co-starred along with Linda Blair in the made-for-TV movie Sarah T. - Portrait of a Teenage Alcoholic (1975) six years earlier. Hagman and Hamill also had played the equivalent role of the genie's master in the classic sitcom I Dream of Jeannie (1965) and its Saturday morning animated (and unfortunately very different) reboot Jeannie (1973), respectively.
