The ceremony was televised in the United States by ABC and was hosted by comedienne Ellen DeGeneres for the second time. She previously hosted the 79th Academy Awards in 2007.

On September 5, 2013, The Academy announced the three nominees that were later honored with an Academy Honorary Award: actress Angela Lansbury, actor and producer Steve Martin and costume designer Piero Tosi. Angelina Jolie was honored with the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award for her charity work. For the Academy Award for Best Picture, 289 films were eligible. In an official press release, it was announced the 86th Academy Awards would honor big-screen real-life heroes, superheroes, popular heroes and animated heroes, both past and present, as well as the bold filmmakers who brought them to life.
