The most important event in the film industry will be held after a few hours at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, Los Angeles (February 25, 2 pm midnight with our local clock). Last year, the audience was the lowest in the entire Oscars history, averaging 26.5 million viewers out of 32.9 million in 2017. Competition between broadcasting services plays an important role, though the duration of the ceremony is one of the factors that compels viewers to change the channel.
Oscar's first prize-giving lasted only 10 minutes, but with the development of television, broadcasting networks thought to include songs, dancing, humorous pieces, and so on. Comedians like Chris Rock, Ellen DeGeneres and Jimmy Kimmel have presented the ceremony in order to entertain the audience. This year, there is no comedian, and even more a presenter.
Kevin Hart, originally selected by the Academy, abandoned the ceremony because he allegedly was told to publicly apologize for offensive statements to the LGBTQ community about 2009-2010. Invited to Ellen DeGeneres, Hart stressed that the only reason why he did not apologize was because he did not want to fire more fuel for the fire. According to him, the media abused by writing that "Kevin Hart refuses to apologize to the LGBTQ + community" without mentioning the word "again". Although Ellen said he had personally talked to the organizers and they were about to return the actor to the role of the presenter, Kevin Hart NUK did not return.
The Academy did not choose another moderator, but the presentation will be entrusted to the famous stars that will be the role of the price presenter. Jennifer Lopez, Whoopi Goldberg, Daniel Craig, Awkwafina and Tina Fey are the names that the producers have entrusted to the audience.
In 1989, producer Allan Car and director Jeff Margolis replaced the opening monologue with an 11-minute musical number that included a duet between actor Rob Lowe and Eileen Bowman dressed as Snow White. The show was badly received by critics. This year, the opus monologue is said to be overlooked, which saves time, though it is likely that the ceremony will commence directly with the awarding of prizes.
Karey Burke, president of the ABC television network Oscar, has said there is something special at the entrance to the ceremony. "We have planned a very exciting space."
It is said to be said that the producers thought of a fusion of "The Avengers". ABC is owned by Disney, which also owns Marvel Studios, where is produced "The Avengers".
