I don't know if this is old news or not, IMDB tends to be a couple of days late with their headlines.
But anyway, I hadn't seen it so I'd thought I share.

Oh well, most of the awards shows suck anyway. I don't know why I'm even drawn to watch them every year. The one I will miss is the Oscars, because a friend always has a fun Oscar party.
I do wonder what kind of impact this will have on box office. These awards shows generate huge amounts of publicity for films.
Art has a double face, of expression and illusion.

Never fear, artscallion. The Oscars WILL happen, according to the Academy's web site.
Although I have no idea what kind of show it will be.

Pre-recorded means pre-announced.
That will NEVER happen.

Posted: 12/20/07 at 9:09amCouldn't they get a Price Waterhouse spokesman to pre-record it and keep the tape under wraps the same way they do the actual envelopes?

You'll never get pre-recorded acceptance speeches. Not without a leak to the media.
...and a mass advance posting on YouTube.

Posted: 12/20/07 at 11:13amI think it is great. All those written introductions and bad jokes and presentations are a total drag anyway. I hope the Oscars are just a quick presentation of the nominees and winners. The show would be done in about 25 minutes. Awesome.

I am just conveying what I heard on the morning newscast this morning.
And here is a statement from People's Choice:
"We realize there are pressing issues facing the entertainment industry, including the WGA strike, and out of respect for everyone involved this provided an opportunity to pilot a new format this year," awards spokeswoman Jeannie Tharrington told The Associated Press.
The show will include pre-recorded acceptance speeches by winners as well as their responses to questions sent in by fans, according to a People's Choice statement.
The "new approach will give fans a more personal glimpse into the lives of their favorite actors and musicians," awards President Fred Nelson said in a statement."

"Bring back Debbie Allen!"
Honey, she was the reason they cancelled it.

Posted: 12/20/07 at 1:35pmI'm sure "Sydney White" will get loads of nominations, so it's a natural.

Posted: 12/23/07 at 12:00pmI don't even know why I watch these award shows. I do enjoy the Tony's and The oscars, but the others are quite boring.
