The Oscars are once a year and are to honor the year’s best in film. If it runs long, so be it. It is the “granddaddy” of all awards shows. It is important in my opinion to present all categories on the program (as well as perform the 5 nominated songs) but this could go much quicker. Paired presenters could present 2 or 3 categories rather than just one category. People do watch primarily for the acting & best picture category so they can be presented individually. For example 2 presenters could present Best Animated Feature & Animated Short. Another 2 could present Editing & Cinematography. This would pick up the pace of the show. Score & Song could be presented together after the songs have been performed. Also, I think it’s great to have some of the nominees present. If Glenn Close is there, have her present. It’s also important to remember the past…….if some of winners from years ago would come & present that is great…..Eva Marie Saint, Rita Moreno, Ellen Burstyn, Michael Caine, Vanessa Redgrave, etc. Just some thoughts…..
