Jon Burlingame editorSome of Hollywood’s most high-profile filmmakers, including director James Cameron, producers Kathleen Kennedy and Lili Fini Zanuck and composer John Williams have joined the growing chorus of voices asking the Academy to reverse course and present all 23 Oscars on the live March 27 telecast.In a letter obtained by Variety and sent today to Academy President David Rubin, more than six dozen film professionals including multiple Academy Award winners, contend that the plan to present eight awards during the pre-telecast hour will “demean” these crafts and “relegate [them] to the status of second-class citizens.”The eight are original score, film editing, production design, makeup and hairstyling, sound, documentary short, live-action short and animated short. The Academy continues to insist that the nominees in those categories will be announced, and the winner’s acceptance speech aired, in edited form and aired as part of the three-hour ABC show.

Camila Cabello handled an embarrassing moment on live TV in the best possible way, during an appearance on BBC’s ‘The One Show,’ when she accidentally exposed her breast while promoting her new single ‘Bam Bam’ with Ed Sheeran.The 25-year-old singer is releasing her new album ‘Familia’ on April 8 and fans are sharing their excitement on social media as the release date gets closer, with Camila taking the time to do a series of worldwide promotional tours.During her recent virtual interview with Alex Jones, the performer wanted to show off her dance moves from the music video with Ed Sheeran, however when she stood up to adjust her shirt, the wardrobe malfunction happened as she was only wearing an oversize topCamila quickly noticed and covered herself while continuing dancing, saying “Almost flashed you,” and adding “I hope you didn’t see nipple,” as she sat down to continue the interview.A clip of the interview went viral almost immediately, with the host and guests back in the studio shocked. “Do you know what, there was a bit of a wardrobe malfunction.

They always say that with live TV, anything can happen and poor Camila Cabello was the latest victim of things going slightly - or very - wrong on TV.

Jazz Tangcay Artisans EditorThe hardest blow is the feeling that their work doesn’t matter as much as other filmmaking disciplines. That was the sentiment shared by a panel of veteran artisans who represent the craft categories that will no longer be presented live at this year’s Academy Awards ceremony on March 27.“What offends me is that somebody in the Academy would claim to or imply that they know which crafts are more important and more deserving of respect than time than other crafts,” Randy Thom, a two-time Oscar winner for sound.

Jazz Tangcay Artisans EditorArtisans are hoping for an Academy Awards do-over before the ceremony begins.The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences sparked outrage and frustration last week when it revealed plans to award eight craft Oscars before the live telecast and sprinkle footage of those presentations throughout the three-hour show — all to make room for other entertainment elements designed to boost viewer engagement and sagging ratings. Adding to the upset: Unsuspecting nominees felt ambushed by the Zoom announcement about the impending change during a virtual town hall last week.Susan Cabral-Ebert, a member of the Make-up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild, is among those hoping the Academy rethinks its plans before the March 27 ceremony.

Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor“Spider-Man: No Way Home” is a sure bet to swing home with the first fan-voted trophy at this year’s Academy Awards, according to a new survey.Industry watchers’ spidey-senses were tingling when the Academy on Monday posted a tweet revealing the top 10 leaderboard (listed alphabetically) in the Oscars’ first-ever fan-favorite voting contest, in partnership with Twitter — a list which, alongside “No Way Home,” included the critically panned “Cinderella” starring Camila Cabello, as well as indie film “Minamata” starring Johnny Depp and Zack Snyder’s “Army of the Dead.”But the latest movie featuring Marvel’s famed webslinger should ultimately cruise to victory in the race: 26% of U.S. adults said “Spider-Man: No Way Home” was their favorite film of 2021, nearly double the next-closest contender (Disney’s “Encanto”), according to a recent Morning Consult survey.

The plan by Oscars organizers to trim eight categories from being presented live onstage during next month’s telecast has raised the ire of the Set Decorators Society of America, the latest Hollywood group decrying the moves.

Marc Malkin Senior Film Awards, Events & Lifestyle EditorJust a couple of hours before Francis Ford Coppola arrived for a 50th anniversary celebration of “The Godfather” on the Paramount lot, the Academy announced that it had nixed the live presentation of Oscars for eight categories at this year’s Academy Awards.The legendary director hadn’t heard the news until he was on the red carpet. “All those [categories] are important,” he told me.

The Academy Awards are doing things differently this year, and TV’s late-night hosts are sounding off.
