Thanks for posting that article, Besty.
There are some great quotes in it, a couple of my favorite:
As for Stewart, who seemed slightly defanged for my tastes, whether a host kills or bombs doesn't lure anyone new to watch the Oscars any more than hiring a replacement for Katie Couric would ever get me to watch the " CBS Evening News."
I know the academy's attitude about embracing change is akin to Cuba going from Fidel to Raul
the academy no longer has the luxury of clinging to a variety show with the same style of presentation and camera placements you could've seen on "The Carol Burnett Show" 30 years ago -- except that Carol Burnett was funny.
Good stuff.
