The Talk forum this week is reflecting back on the Academy Awards, and coming up with ways to fix them. "I have an idea about how to make the awards show more interesting," writes egra. "Let each of the studios get a three- or four-minute slot on the telecast to show a promo reel of their upcoming movies for the summer. This would give moviegoers around the world the perfect opportunity to get their first look at the big movies coming up, and also give the studios the opportunity to showcase their product." gj Frankic, however, disagress: "When fed a constant diet of celebrity faces in magazines, tabloid TV and Internet access, the excitement of seeing performers, yet again, loses lustre. The specialness of Oscar Night may return only when spending an evening with favorite performers is something more than same-old, same-old."
