From the master of the "I wish I'd said that" movies, Woody Allen: "I don't want to live in a city where the only cultural advantage is that you can make a right turn on a red light." In addition to Best Picture, Oscars also went to Woody Allen for his directing and to Diane Keaton for Best Actress. Allen was nominated for Best Actor.
