There’s a rumor on IMDB that I’m involved with a new version Of The Exorcist. This isn’t a rumor, it’s a flat-out lie. There’s not enough money or motivation in the world To get me to do this.

What an insult to award two of the most essential Qualities of film making in the commercial breaks. This is a misguided act that robs the awards of Whatever relevance remains. It’s now just a platform For commercials.

If the Academy wants to shorten the telecast, They should start by cutting speeches by the Academy president, the head of the MPAA and Price-Waterhouse. There should only be one Presenter per category. And they should be Preset. no lame repartee or jokes.
