Katie14 4,828 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Where other songs that were performed also shortened? It just makes no sense to me. How long is the song like 4 minutes? During a 4 hour plus show filled with a ton of bs, they had to shorten her song by 30 seconds? I wonder if Gaga wanted it shortened because maybe she was afraid she wouldnt get throught the whole thing without crying or getting overly angry. There were times i thought her emotions were going to boil over but it was actually perfect. What do you think? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradley 59,316 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 No, Gaga wouldn't shorten her song, that's the last thing she would want. It's the Oscar rule. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannydevito 10,658 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Because of time. The AA are vey long and throughout history we can see how the Academy tries to make them shorter with things like these, or the limitation of the speech time. This year also featured a bottom line that appeared when somebody won, with all the thanks the winner did, hoping for the speech to be shorter.

Gypsy Life 118,907 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Probably the time. The Weeknd's performance was like 1 minute. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 They also told other nominees that they can't perform their songs because of time issues, which I think is wrong on so many levels. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head Empty 25,326 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I would honestly say time constraints from the Oscar organization. Some of the nominees didn't even get a chance to perform, and I'm sure that the producers of the show were trying to shave of bits and pieces of the individual seconds to fit everything in. Don't forget that it's not just the performances/presentations themselves, but also a lot of preparation and stage management that goes on out of sight of the camera. Shows like these are notorious for passing their "allowed" broadcasting schedule, so by cutting out all these little pieces they're trying to prevent it from taking too long.

Harry 26,836 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 The Weeknd's performance was extremely short. I don't know if Sam's was cut but I didn't notice it feeling very short. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They allowed the host to go on and on about how racist the Oscars are long past the jokes were old, and had some rediculous and confusing moments like the 3 asian kids? And they have to shave time off from performances? Are you saying the songs were perfomed in full for the audience but were shortened for the telecast?

Well let's not forget that music isn't the main focus of the Oscars. Although it obviously is a nice change of pace for the viewers in terms of entertainment value, I think the producers of the show value movie-related sketches and such to be just as important.

I'm pretty sure it was live, except for the censorship delay (a few seconds, so they can hit mute). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
