Showbiz Observations

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced that the presenters at this year’s Academy Awards are going to be kept secret until they walk out onstage.  The Academy hopes this will draw more viewers curious to see who the presenters are. 

Is this a good idea?  I’m not sure this secrecy will draw the attention of many more people at home.  I watch the Oscars every year.  I don’t watch to see who hands out the awards; I watch to see who wins.  That is the TRUE excitement and mystery of the night.  Not to see which top secret star is going to hand out the awards. 

Who will win?  Who won’t will?  Will there be any surprises?  Will there be any upsets?  This is what makes people by the billions turn in each year.  And really, how much of a surprise can any of the presenters really be?  The best of Hollywood is going to be in the audience.  Those are the same people who will be handing out the awards.
