Get rid of the politics.
I'm an extremely political person, but I don't need to be preached to by multi-millionaires wearing the contents of half a diamond mine and clothes that cost more than the average American earns in a month.
Someone needs to instruct and coach all nominees in how to give an acceptance speech.
Not just tell them how much time they have in minutes or seconds, but actually tell them to get their freaking shit together and write something down, practice something, don't just get up there and stand there gasping while co-winners on your make-up team or whatever can't even get in front of the mic while you're hogging it going "uhh!!"
Seriously, there was so much of that this year. Irritating as hell. Yes I know these people are bowled over and are also not used to being on a stage speaking to people.
But that's exactly WHY they should be told, taught, coached how to deal with it. Either that or introduce the Victorian hook with a long handle to haul those time wasters off the stage.
LOL
I know what you mean (most of Sunday night's speeches were crap!), but ultimately, they're their to collect an award for their achievement in film. They're not necessarily there to give a great speech. That's just a bonus, assuming they can compose themselves.
True, the focus is the award, not an impressive speech - but being that they are given an allotted time to say something, and many abuse the privilege by humming and hahhing and overrunning their time, which messes up the producers' plans for the runtime of the show - then they should be given some kind of ten minutes in a room with someone basically warning them how to make the best of that time if there's anything they want to say beyond "Thank you to my parents for having me" lol.
It's incredibly irritation to have to watch these people, and there were so many this year who just seemed to enjoy hogging the microphone with nothing to say.
Some ideas:
Have uniforms. That would work well to change the audience. I think the worst of the worst celebrities might sit it out too. If they can't flaunt their wealth while at the same time espouse naval gazing politics, they might need immediate psychiatric attention.
Get rid of female awards. Let's stop pretending there are any decent female roles coming out of Hollywood typewriters.
Have a count of of all the demographic stats onscreen at all times so we know exactly how white Hollywood is, in comparison to how Jewish it is, and how wealthy it is. We need to inculde those two stats which are always strangely absent.
Keep the speeches, but institute the Fairness Doctrine they love so much, and bring Alex Jones and Tucker Carleson on stage to make fun of them all afterwards.
Host the show from prison, or death row if we're lucky. Many illegal acts onscreen, encouraging illegal activity and violence.
Eliminate all private security and all forms of transportation. Ban bottled water. Force them to drink tap. It's just common courtesy to not allow them to walk all over us. Drug test them and run them and their belongings through gamma wave body scanners too.

Make the nominees of a category fight each other in order to determine the winner.

π and the winner is....
Itβs a tie between somecodhopper and frogarama!!! Put your dukes up boys.
Make it shorter.
No politics, focus on what it was intended to focus on. That includes getting rid of all the red carpet who's wearing whom stuff.
I haven't watched the Academy Awards for so long, I don't remember the last year I saw it.
Agree, get rid of identity politics, virtue signaling, and just focus on the art of filmmaking.
