The 66th Academy Awards were presented March 21, 1994 at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, Los Angeles. The show was landmark in that it featured a female African American host for the first time, Whoopi Goldberg, and represented a direct contrast in edgy style from Billy Crystal who had hosted the show the previous four years.

This show also featured the first Oscar performances by Janet Jackson, Neil Young, and Bruce Springsteen, who won the best song award for "Streets of Philadelphia."
