So GMA is still showing all the categories as they are read, but it starts 10-15 minutes *earlier*? This is all somewhat confusing. And yes, why not do it in prime time if reporters are not covering it on site? Just weird.
But I thought the press was good? Yeah, hypocrisy only goes so far. Truth be told, after last year’s ridiculously preachy show (Chris Rock did his best to please both sides), I will be interested to see if the Academy will manage to improve it’s ratings. Last year, from what I understand, was the third worst rated show in the Academy’s history or something right? They need to stop preaching and entertain because if they keep up this political agenda, there won’t be a show. Not that would affect these big wigs but it be sad if it did. Make the show about people. Not just special interest groups, but people in general. Please! I want to see the show survive! Use to love watching them but not once in my adult life (With is about a decade), have I enjoyed the shows.
I would imagine the number one reason for the change is for public safety.
looks like Trump isn’t the only one shutting out the press
In the old days, the announcements were made so they could be announced on the networks’ morning shows at 8:30 Eastern and still make the early afternoon papers. But that really makes no sense anymore in this digital age. So why not announce at a more sane hour and let people sleep in?
