Not everyone is happy about the categories pushed from Sunday’s Oscars live broadcast and now, protests are planned in response
✖ The 94th Oscars take place on Sunday, but not everyone is excited for Hollywood's biggest night. Earlier this year, it was announced that eight predominantly craft categories would not be presented during Sunday's ABC telecast with those awards instead taking place before the actual ceremony inside the Dolby Theater.
"There is a multitude of different organizations that are working together to find ways to circumvent having their voices clipped," Urban said."As the Oscars get closer, more and more craft people are showing solidarity. If there's anything positive that comes out of this very terrible situation this year, it's that we are becoming more solidified as the day comes closer.
"Because what we are going to say is going to be moderated and cut down and limited and we all know, as does another one of the affected categories, Best Editing, how impactful editing can be to a story," Urban said."It diminishes the category voices. Additionally, I find upsetting it's not live in front of a full audience of peers. We don't get to hear that sound of applause of support from the entire community of equal filmmakers. That's very heartbreaking.
