The Academy needs to just give up on broadcasting the Oscars in the traditional way. Just have a five hour extravaganza on Netflix. That way, there is plenty of time for red carpet coverage, musical numbers, dancing, and spectacle.
I think doubling down on what makes the Oscars great would really help take the ceremony to a new age. The whole point of the Oscars is the excess. The hard-core people who love the show want more, not less.
At least, I know I do.
If nothing else, I think the Oscars are probably going to find a home on Netflix sooner rather than later, whenever the rights are up to change.
