Guillermo del Toro calls out Oscars for changes to live show

It’s safe to saythe proposed changes to the Academy Awardshaven’t gone over all that well.

And one person who’s not happy about them isGuillermo del Toro.

This is the year to say it and say it loud."

Del Toro called others in the room to action, encouraging them to speak out against the change.

“We shouldn’t do it this year.

We shouldn’t do it ever, but this year we are together in this.

The art is good.

That discussion has been ongoing but with more urgency for this year’s show,” Hudson said.

We chose a mix of categories which would then be folded into our live broadcast."

But Rubin insisted they will stay the course this time.

“We’re not losing any of those great moments,” she stressed.

And that was important to us.

And that’s not an easy feat.

Maybe people offered other ideas.

The Academy did not immediately respond to EW’s request for comment on Del Toro’s remarks.

But whether others of Del Toro’s influence join the pushback remains to be seen.
