Academy didn't ask last year winners to present at the Oscars

[ANVEEROY 61,276]

Oscar tradition usually has the winner of each acting category from the previous year present the current award. Per tradition, Allison Janney should be the one presenting this year’s Best Supporting Actress trophy to either Amy Adams (“Vice”), Emma Stone (“The Favourite”), Regina King (“If Beale Street Could Talk”), Rachel Weisz (“The Favourite”), or Marina de Tavira (“Roma”). Janney won the Oscar in the category last year for her performance in “I, Tonya.” Janney apparently confirmed she has not been asked to present in a since-deleted Instagram post (via Vanity Fair). The actress added she is upset over being snubbed from the ceremony.

Without a host leading the ceremony, the Academy Awards is turning to major A-list stars in order to attract viewers to the film industry’s biggest night. The first round of presenters announced earlier this week included megastars like Chris Evans, Daniel Craig, and Jennifer Lopez, plus favorites like Awkwafina and Tessa Thompson, but one group of actors reportedly being snubbed from the ceremony is last year’s winners: Sam Rockwell, Allison Janney, Gary Oldman, and Frances McDormand.

This year's awards season = **** show. Not one award show went good without a controversy, upset or something

I swear if Barbra Streisand doesn't present Original Song to Gaga(if she wins) then the academy stole us an ICONIC moment.

Messiest award season in years. I hate that Gaga and ASIB must compete in this s***fest of an awards season.

No thanks TBH. Letting Barbra present Best Original Song would look shady as hell. It'd be a great moment but like... makes it so clear that they want Shallow to win.

Just give my Gags her Oscars and I don't care about anything else.

hm true.

I still think someone legendary should present it though, like when Cher presented the VMA to Gaga in 2010 - a moment.

Why is it during one of years Gaga basically has to attend all these award shows, that they have to be messy af?

I still can’t get over when the wrong best picture winner was announced...so I am not shocked about this mess.

Well at least they will get a minor boost in ratings from all of the monsters.

I was going to say I can't wait until ABC is done with the Oscars and they can switch to another network, but I just realized they're contracted through 2028 

In that case I hope this year's show flops hard in the ratings and they have a massive re-think about next year's show

What's up with all these big events slowly going to ****?

Grammys, the Super Bowl (Halftime Show specifically), and now the Oscars.

Are people just being disillusioned by all these events? edit: superbowl an exception since it's sports and sports is almost always big.
