shareBring back the host!: 92nd Academy Awards showed the pitfalls of a host-less ceremony

The chief job of a host is to bring continuity to the ceremony, which was something this year's Oscars lacked. "The 2020 awards kept trying to have segments built around the function of a host without actually having a host, says Emily Todd VanDerWerff.. "When Steve Martin and Chris Rock came out near the top of the show to offer five minutes of comedy, it felt like gilding the lily after Janelle Monaé’s entertaining but odd opening musical number. 'Musical number,' then 'host-like segment that, nevertheless, is not actually a host segment,' then the first award is a whiplash-inducing sequence." VanDerWerff adds: "It’s entirely possible that the problem with this year’s award show wasn’t the lack of a host, but its inability to decide which elements of a traditional host to keep and which to jettison. For as impossible a gig hosting the Oscars is, the simple fact that someone like Jimmy Kimmel or Chris Rock or Ellen DeGeneres is there to smooth transitions and help out when, say, La La Land is erroneously named best picture over Moonlight, offers a constant place for the director of the awards show to cut to. It’s a home base in a show that sometimes badly needs a home base. Television usually works best when a show has some sort of status quo to return to. That’s the case with awards shows, too. For as bad as so many Oscar hosts have been, they really do maintain the evening’s status quo. Even when you’re not sure why Joaquin Phoenix keeps winning awards for Joker, your host will be there to guide you through it. A hostless Oscars could continue to work, but the structure of the show as-is all but begs for a host. In order to not have one yet again, the show’s producers will likely have to get more ruthless about which elements of the show are tossed and which are kept."
I agree, even though I agree with most of the political opinions expressed!
They're actors, not political leaders, they're just doing it so they can feel important and smug. Anyone who brings politics into an awards ceremony is too stupid to realize that nobody ever changed their mind about anything, because of something an actor says during an award acceptance speech.
