The International Cinematographers Guild has joined the growing chorus of boos over the Film Academy’s decision to shorten the Oscar telecast by presenting the awards for four categories – including the one for Best Cinematography – during commercial breaks. The winners’ acceptance speeches will be taped and aired later in the broadcast, but examples of their work will not be shown during the show.
“This decision is extremely disheartening,” said Steven Poster, president of Iatse Cinematographers Guild Local 600. “I immediately reached out to Academy president John Bailey, a member of our own guild, who assured me that all of the nominees would be ‘noted’ during the broadcast. It’s not the same. This is a collaborative process and this change appears to elevate certain crafts above others. People wait their entire lives to receive an Oscar in front of millions and it is humiliating to have that moment reduced to an afterthought.
