Hauser 1,262 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I understand her point of view and think that they shoild have all the nominated artists perform instead of pharel and whoever else is scheduled. However, you cant boycott somethubg you werent invited to in the first place 💀 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
teo 609 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 That's her issue. Since when it's not an honor to just be nominated? But get that PR I guess...  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersonic 49,376 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I mean, if I was excluded from performing my Oscar nominated song and my odds to win the awards were at less than 1%, I wouldn't bother flying in from China just to get humiliated and have the camera pan on my face the exact same moment I lose the award. 1 minute ago, Red said: They don't need to cut anything, they could just make the ceremony longer. It's not like people are gonna die of boredom because of extra 30 minutes. And they can't even come with the excuse it would be too expensive to televise cause they are not poor. I agree. Last years Oscars dragged out for so long, were they like 4 or 5 hours? If it was at that length, another 15 minutes wouldn't have bothered anyone. It would have been a nice change of pace in contrast to the likes of Sean Penn celebrating themselves for being racists jerks on live television.

This type of person don't do this for publicity, but because of ideals... Rock On and A Last One For the Road 🚬 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, depending on the host that's a very distinct possibility... I get their resistance to making the ceremony even longer than it already is...people would complain about it. But they have so much time at their disposal, it's just a matter of managing it better...I promise people wouldn't mind if they made the little clips they play as they announce the nominees a little shorter or took away some of the time the host is given to make jokes...it would probably make the show better... ATTENTION: (bad) jokes and sarcasm are still a thing, so don't take everything I say literally. Thank you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whispering 18,865 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Eh, it's not The Grammys. This telecast really isn't about music. Sometimes they have all the nominees, sometimes they don't.  She probably doesn't feel like getting dressed up, though and sitting through a long ceremony, knowing that her chances are slim to none. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2006 Jorge Drexker wasn't allowed to perform his nominated song 'Al Otro Lado del Rio' instead Antonio Banderas and Santana performed it He won the award and sang the chorus instead of his winning speech. That was pretty worse than this, it doesn't change the Academy voters opinion, they already voted by now. another shot before we kiss the other side Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know whats the Oscars policy, but as far as I know with other award shows not every nominee performs, bit many still attend. And don't talk like you know her, this could be pure PR. She obviously knows she's not winning so she might as well get what she can from this. I'm sure they're not doing it just to piss her off. The ceremony is always too long so it makes sense to cut a few songs nobody knows about. It's not cool I guess, but the show is about the movies anyway.

Bad Bromance 5,809 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 15 minutes ago, Gypsy Life said: She has every reason to. Maybe they should cut some of the useless, annoying and unfunny sketches they do in the middle of the show instead of this. Agreed. Better yet, as much as I love Dave Grohl, he and Pharrell Williams shouldn't have been asked to perform since they are not nominees. They could have asked this transgender woman to perform in either one of those slots that are now being occupied by Dave and Pharrell. I don't care what you think about unless it is about me.
