Oscars have continguency plan if strike continues

»  Comments | Post a Comment


LOS ANGELES (AP) - The Oscars people are working on a Plan B.


If the writers strike is still on and the Oscars don't get a waiver, the show will be filled with film clips, history and some out-of-the ordinary concepts.


The president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Sid Ganis, says they're planning two Oscar shows: "The show we would love to do and" and "a show that we would prefer not to do."


Either way, the Academy Awards show will go on as scheduled February 24th because Ganis says they "have an obligation to the art form to present the Oscars."


Meanwhile, an academy spokeswoman says says it has "made contact" with the Writers Guild of America.


In past years, presenters were announced one-by-one before or shortly after the nominations, but not one has been named so far.
