After High-Rated Oscars, Academy Brings Back Zadan and Meron to Produce Next Year's Show

Awards

Truth is, producing and hosting the Oscars is a thankless task. Alec Baldwin says it's a miracle they can get anyone to do the "flabby, tired show." Sure, occasionally someone can pull it out, but most of the time the media just piles on the Oscars. As they did last year with host Seth MacFarlane--who will never host again-- and the musical Oscar show produced by Craig Zadan and Neil Meron.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences had just opened its doors for ticket pick-up for the 85th Oscar telecast. Forty voting members, the distinguished director Norman Jewison, and I were on a long single-file line that snaked through the lobby.

Academy Picks Key Award Season Dates, Pushes Back Awards Ceremony for 2014, Moves It Up in 2015

Awards

At first I wanted to praise the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for choosing a reasonably late March 2 date for the next live Oscar ceremony, the 86th, on ABC TV in 2014. This unseemly rush to move the ceremony earlier only jams up all the other awards ahead of it and prevents Academy voters from seeing all the films in time, which seems counterproductive.
