In a letter to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, American Cinema Editors condemned the Academy`s decision to not current eight Oscar categories within the dwell broadcast of the 94th Academy Awards.
The letter, obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, condemned the Academy`s controversial plan that was met with quick backlash when it was introduced on February 22.
“Treating certain categories differently from others has struck a nerve within our community, with the overwhelming majority of our membership feeling unheard, disrespected and abandoned by the very same Academy which so many of us have supported for decades,” learn the message, signed by the ACE board of administrators.
The Academy presently plans to current the eight Oscars — for movie modifying, documentary brief, make-up/hairstyling, authentic rating, manufacturing design, animated brief, live-action brief and sound — contained in the Dolby Theatre an hour earlier than the dwell telecast commences. They might be recorded and edited into the next dwell broadcast, with the transfer following record-low scores for ABC`s 2021 Oscars telecast.
ACE continued, “While editors can empathize with the need to balance honouring art with the popularity and viewership of the event, we must restate our belief that the decision to cull these categories in the manner described is not the solution to the dwindling ratings. There are other creative and entertaining ways to shorten a show — we know, that`s what we do! We believe that true fans of the Oscars don`t want to see an evening celebrating the highest honour in our industry reduced to a buzzy variety spectacle.”
In current weeks, movie editors have been amongst those that have signed a number of petitions urging the Academy to reverse its method to the printed.
Apart from ACE, different such teams included Motion Picture Editors Guild (IATSE Local 700), International Cinematographers Guild (IATSE Local 600), Society of Composers and Lyricists, Cinema Audio Society and Motion Picture Sound Editors.
