Disney CEO Bob Iger

“BY BLACKING OUT THE ENTIRE SHOW, WE HOPE  TO WIN THE OSCAR FOR THE MOST AMBITIOUS JOB EVER … IN BOTH FILM EDITING AND SOUND EDITING.”

“IF HISTORICAL TRENDS HOLD, THE PROGRAM WILL BE THE WORST-PRODUCED AWARD SHOW OF THE YEAR, RUNNING ABOUT 538 MINUTES, WITH 80% OF THE TIME DEVOTED TO TECHNICAL, BEHIND-THE- SCENES AWARDS THAT THE PUBLIC DOESN’T CARE ABOUT, AND THAT KEEPS THE WORLD’S BIGGEST STARS OFF ITS BIGGEST STAGE.”
