Hopefully the drama will be kept in the movies at the 95th annual Academy Awards. Hollywood’s biggest night is returning and moving forward from the slap that overshadowed the 2022 Oscars.
“We want to move forward and have an Oscars that celebrates cinema,” Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences CEO Bill Kramer said during a press conference in August 2022 (via Variety). “That’s our focus right now, it’s really about moving forward.”
Kramer also said that with the 2023 ceremony being the show’s “95th anniversary, we want to return to a show that has reverence for film and 95 years of the Oscars.”
