More than six dozen industry titans—including James Cameron, Guillermo del Toro, and Kathleen Kennedy—are urging the Academy not to cut eight categories from the Oscars broadcast.
James Cameron, Guillermo del Toro, Kathleen Kennedy,urge the Academy “in the strongest possible terms” to reverse their decision to hand out eight Oscar statuettes before the March 27 broadcast begins.
“Critical artistic crafts like music scoring, film editing, production design, makeup, hairstyling, and sound will always deserve the same respect and recognition as crafts like acting, directing, and visual effects,” the letter reads. “To diminish any of these individual categories in the pursuit of ratings and short-term profits does irreparable damage to the Academy’s standing as impartial arbiters and responsible stewards of our industry’s most important awards.
