A Four-Hour Oscars Broadcast Should Be The New Normal

Technically, the academy is no longer after Oscar is no longer distributed in the STUNT design during the televised broadcast, although the benefits of doing so will help strengthen viewers; Popular films such as “John Wick” or “Mission: Impossible” that will not win any nominations, you can ignore NOM for that category, and perhaps the temptation of some viewers who may not have been not interested. But on the assumption of exciting works and both make them on the final broadcast, this means that there must be 25 awards to be delivered at the Oscars 2028.

My fear is that ABC decide to shoot short films from broadcasting to add space and processing those such as scientific and technical prizes, which are not broadcast and often mentioned for a short period only in the main broadcast. But people will absorb. I know that the directors behind these short pants cannot be identified and sometimes stumbled through their acceptance sermons. I know that the masses may be patience in taking a look at an actor, director or movie they are already interested in. I know that beating against short pants are usually dark and frustrated. But this is the largest night in the movies we are talking about! These candidates deserve to be there. Film makers have reached the height of their profession, while they are in some respects, as a position for the public; By seeing them on the world stage, we imagine how it should be for ordinary people to rub the shoulders with the mighty of the industry. It is Hollywood wishes to fulfill its best.

(The Academy Awards ceremony with ABC expires after the 2028 party, so this can only be a problem that we must face for one year. Then again, who picks up rights can feel the same ABC.)

I love personally to see the Academy Awards ceremony completely adopting a long -running time and making the ceremony feel that it is larger than it is already. Do not punish any other categories just because there are new shiny groups. Use the 2025 party as a template (it was long, but still ended before 11 pm Each time! Keep hateful bits of the show! Evidence that you really love this artistic model!), And displaying new trailers during broadcasting, and used in general the platform to provoke renovations in the past, present and future. Enough dance about trying to shave a few minutes here and there. Embrace chaos, and leave a strange loving flag.
