Will The Academy Awards Air In January Next Year??
The
Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences
is reportedly going to consider moving up the air date of 2011
Academy Awards
to January!
According to a source:
“The awards season is too long currently. This will shorten and reduce the amount of campaigning. Also, it will make the Oscars the definitive awards show again. The Globes can’t move a lot earlier as all the movies wouldn’t be released yet. The only potential downside is how do people see all the films in time to vote for nominations?”Another source, however, seems doubtful the date will be switched, because there’s simply not enough time for members of the Academy to watch all potential films and vote accordingly.
They claim:
“There’s a ZERO percent chance that the Executive team can figure out how to logistically coordinate voting that soon, especially with all the old people who don’t do electronic mail. And especially because [executive director] Bruce Davis won’t do anything that utilizes technology.”Seems like a pretty stupid idea to me!
What do you think? Should the Academy Awards continuing airing in February or March or should Awards season be squeezed into one month?
