The Academy Awards is taking the unprecedented step of demoting eight categories — including film editing and original score — from its upcoming live ABC telecast on March 27 in what appears to be an attempt to reverse the show’s plummeting ratings, which hit an all-time low last year. In explaining its decision, the Academy mentioned “viewer engagement” but failed to address the woke, left-wing specch-ifying by celebrities that acts as viewer repellent. Among the awards that will be handed out in a pre-taped segment are editing, production design, score, make-up, sound, and the short film categories. The pre-taped categories are expected to find their way into the live show in an abbreviated form, according to multiple reports. The decision represents a drastic move by the Academy, which has rejected past suggestions to relegate some of the technical categories to a pre-show segment.
