Cynics have tabbed them “The Doomsday Summits.” To believers, however, their mission is to re-energize the Oscars at a moment when award shows in general are in massive retreat.
From The Nooks And Crannies Of Saturday’s Academy Meeting, A Swirl of Detail
17.09.2022 - 23:27 / deadline.com
Deadline’s Pete Hammond hit all the big points from today’s live-and-video membership meeting of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences—Oscar show revamp, producers hired, revenue diversifying, inclusion program full steam ahead. President Janet Yang and Chief Executive Bill Kramer are promising much, and already beginning to make good on the promises, not least by holding the first of what are promised to be annual meetings open to the Academy’s 10,000-plus members.
It was like a much-needed airing-out of the Academy closets—and as dust poofed up from the nooks and crannies, lots of small details made Saturday’s meeting an event worth monitoring.
For starters, the audience laughed out loud, according to my best report, when Kramer acknowledged that members haven’t actually liked the Oscar show lately. It was something the administration definitively learned from a member survey—not the first, but the only one in a long time from which candid, negative feedback was publicly shared.
For the film Academy, this in itself is a revolution, the kind of transparency that has gotten lip service in the past, but has rarely if ever materialized.
Supposedly, there’s much more to come. Early in the meeting, the Kramer/Yang team promised to post on their member site a recap of doings at each and every meeting of the Board of Governors. To date, those meetings have been shielded from view, and protected by a clause in the bylaws that forbids any governor to discuss the board’s business outside the room. (It happens, but not much.)
Later on Saturday, during a question-and-answer session, one Academy member went so far as to suggest that board meetings should be streamed, making governors accountable to those who elected them.

Ad-Spend Tracker MediaRadar Wins Investments From Thompson Street Capital, Endicott Capital
Brian Steinberg Senior TV Editor More investors are counting on the ability to count advertising dollars. Thompson Street Capital Partners, a private equity firm, and Endicott Capital, an investment entity focused on information services, have made a strategic investment in MediaRadar, a tracker of advertising outlays. It is the latest transaction to have financial players gravitate to the discipline of measuring ad spending. Thompson will take a controlling stake in the business, though financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. In an interview, Todd Krizelman, MediaRadar’s founder and CEO, indicated the investments would be utilized to create more products around such areas as retail media and social media, but also to help gain scale in the marketplace. As more media entities start to offer their own methodologies for being measured, Krizelman said, the marketplace is likely to seek a single third-party entity to examine spending. “That’s a missing puzzle piece, for sure,” he said.
