Is the Academy Too Long?

I just think that the season is way too long. The Jamie Lee Curtis's SAG speech was I mean, a lot of that surprise and it's not their fault that this was all kind of written out. If you don't have a deeply emotional big moment ... with the exception of Brendan Fraser,. That was probably the most competitive race of the night. It diminishes their strength. So it's kind of a paradox of how to make a good show. You want to be thoughtful and you want to be stately about the importance of recognizing great work in the field but you want to have fun. And the fun can't all fall on Jimmy Kimmel throwing darts at famous people's eyes
