I think people who know better will not compare this year's ratings with 2021 but the last pre-pandemic show, 2020.Mister Tee wrote:The latest list of presenters. Not sure how Bill Murray made the cut -- he, unlike most of them, has done actual quality work in films (any work, for some).

I can almost guarantee what'll happen here. The ratings will be up some -- because all awards shows have seen a rise, and last year was misleadingly low due to some people not even knowing the show was on. And that rise will be attributed (by ABC and the cowardly Academy board) to all the eliminated awards, the dopey Audience Choice, and the non-movie people pushed as presenters. And the show'll continue down this path.
Just another reason to love Jessica Chastain.Big Magilla wrote:Jessica Chastain has said she will attend the pre-show awards to cheer on the Eyes of Tammy Faye makeup team. She rightfully feels that is more important than being seen and interviewed on the Red Carpet.
You'd think others would follow on this. Certainly directors should want to be there for their editors/designers/composers. If enough prominent people made it know they'd skip the Red Carpet, that could nudge ABC (which seems the prime mover behind these awful changes).Big Magilla wrote:Jessica Chastain has said she will attend the pre-show awards to cheer on the Eyes of Tammy Faye makeup team.
