I’m more than alright with that.

Just cut them all and play a snippet of each. We don't see every single edit an editor makes, or every part of an actor's performance.

AMPAS REALLY doesn’t want Emily Blunt to be there.

Y’know, one of these years, I really want to see one of these not-performed songs pull off a win, because that would be a slap of poetic justice.

I’m beginning to think that the Oscars don’t like the Oscars

I'm all for them trying to cut this down to two hours but one would think there is a tasteful manner to do so. Like dont just perform the songs from people who do music professionally just to see ratings. All or none.

Fucking assholes, fucking people, these fucking producers and governors should lose their jobs. No host, crafts relegated to commercial breaks, and we don't even have all the songs performed, but surely we'll get some fucking stupid montage about some fucking stupid ass stuff. Motherfuckers.

John Bailey's got to be the worst president the Academy's had in a while.
Best Popular Film fiasco + Removing some categories from the broadcast + This horseshit. What a douche. And to think I was excited when a cinematographer was chosen as their president...

It really is crazy that the most worthless category gets the most time dedicated to it.

If I could I would tell all those people to vote for 'All the Stars'. I like 'Shallow' too but....All the Stars All the Way

I don't find it to be a good decision. The songs are suppose to be a break from the monotonous nature of the ceremony.
While I do understand that Shallow and All The Stars are the favorites to win in this category, especially Shallow, and both are popular songs within our pop culture, it's just the wrong path. I would much rather they sprinkle a song throughout the ceremony, and before the picture, director, and lead performances go on stage, give out the award for Best Song.
In the Academy attend to be cooler and appeal to people beyond the gay and art house crowd, they have managed to clumsily put together an awards ceremony.

A better way to break up the monotony would be to get a good host with energy. I've said it before, I'll say it again: somebody like Craig Ferguson would be wonderful, because his approach would be much more energy and improv based. I can imagine him or someone similar sitting and talking with a winner right after they got an award and just joshing with them, and it would get more laughs and more genuine feeling than some pizza gag, because he can build off of the audience's attention.

So only two of the biggest acts are allowed to sing? Total ratings whores.

Now we know how great Cooper's performance was in the film - he looked so confident on stage in the movie but here he's just lost (although enjoyably). The dude's air-guitaring for chirssake! I hope he does it at the Oscars too

And to think I was excited when a cinematographer was chosen as their president... What's this? Some of the categories are going to be done off the air, during commercial break?

On the one hand I hate that the performances are there to begin with, but the idea that they're going to allow the ones with the most mainstream stars to perform and kick the others to the curb is just pathetic, and sort of infuriating. Cut them all or keep them all... Or better still why not just have Beyonce do them all again?

Several categories will be announced during commercial break and will be shown to us in a montage towards the end or some shit. And apparently Kris Tapley knows that one of the categories to go will definitely be Best Cinematography
