Who are the Oscars for, at this point?

It was announced today that eight of the 23 Oscar categories will not be presented live on the March 27 broadcast. Instead, the winners of those categories will be announced in a taped pre-show, then shown to the viewers at home at random points in the broadcast.

The categories that will be cut from the live telecast are Documentary (short subject), Film Editing, Makeup and Hairstyling, Music (Original Score), Production Design, Short Film (Animated), Short Film (Live Action), and Sound.
