Why does Steven Spielberg disagree with the Academy’s decision to pre-record eight Oscar categories?
It’s been clear since the Academy made the decision to pre-record eight categories an hour before the Oscars telecast begins—it was a bad choice for a multitude of reasons.
Many have voiced their concerns and disappointment with the decision, including one of the most prominent and powerful voices in the entertainment industry, Steven Spielberg.
In an exclusive interview with Deadline, Spielberg said, “I disagree with the decision made by the executive committee. I feel very strongly that this is perhaps the most collaborative medium in the world. All of us make movies together, we become a family where one craft is just as indispensable as the next.”
The 19-time Oscar nominee and Thalberg Award winner continued, “All of us are on the same line bringing the best of us to tell the best stories we possibly can. And that means for me we should all have a seat at the supper table together at 5.”
