I know the Oscars is one big commercial, but do they have have commercial breaks? That extra hour sure could add more ads.

Detective No. 27 posted:I know the Oscars is one big commercial, but do they have have commercial breaks? That extra hour sure could add more ads. During the Home Run Derby this year they didn't even cut to commercials. The player had a break but there was no break from the footage. While the player drank his Gatorade there was a picture-in-picture or split screen to show commercials. When the Oscar winner is annnounced and it takes those thirty seconds or whatever for the person to react, then get up, then walk up to the mic, that's perfect for a Jeep ad in the corner.

The only way to make the Oscars fair is to make the awards scheme entirely quantitative, and give one Oscar to whatever film received the highest cumulative amount of human viewership that year. Length of film in minutes x number of individual start-to-finish views of the footage. To keep the results objective, any piece of video footage counts as a film

He could get one too. that will absolutely never happen because acknowledging the existence of stuntpeople is bad for many actor's brands, particularly those of aging white guys. plus, "oscar-winning stuntperson" is not enough of a marketable factor to be included in mass advertising. or were you being sarcastic?

I don’t think sound editing and sound mixing Oscars gets advertised a lot either. Stuntperson Oscars I can see being mentioned on a cheap action movie poster.

I think it's dumb because the elitism is one of the few actual assets the Oscars have over other award shows and much like when they extended the best picture nominations from 5 to 10 this is a shallow attempt at populism that is going to do nothing to get anyone who doesn't already watch or care about the Oscars interested while giving the people who spend months bitching and moaning about how irrelevant and out of touch the Oscars are while fervently debating nominations and watching the award show live every year that much more to complain about.MonsieurChoc posted:Nah, I just wish stuntpeople got some recognition for their hard and risky work. There isn't anything for voice acting or performance capture either and most of the existing technical Oscars are just a footnote that gets no actual time at the awards show, that just isn't what the academy or the viewers care about and even hardcore film nerds are still usually stupid enough to smirk about movies like Norbit and Suicide Squad getting technical nominations even when the movie itself isn't good.

Doing poo poo like falling face first into the ground without trying to shield yourself with your arms or hanging out of the window of a speeding car takes at least as much skill and talent as doing an impression of a historical figure and/or pretending to be disabled. Possibly more.

Tom Cruise is forever and is watching all of us RIGHT NOW. His Thetan energy is off the charts. There is no metric by which to measure it, not even in L. Ron's Journal of Truth & Facts called Dianetics.
