So now they want to take out awards that we see on tv?

Now they are saying that some awards are going to be on during the commercials because the show lasts too long...How about they take out the stupidly ridiculous skits that make me want to turn the channel? How about they have Billy Crystal write the funny skits for the Oscars since he is too old now to be host? How about the technical awards have their own prime time Oscars? Most of them we have to watch on the internet anyway?

Hollywood has lost it's pull.

Since the banking collapse in '08 there has been less investment in television and movies generally.
Add to that stagnant wages and rising prices means that fewer folk go to the movies these days.
Add to that the advances in streaming for the internet. If folk are likely to spend more time at home anyway.
Add to that the whole 'celebrity producer/rapist/' stuff.

People need a reason to get back out there and watch.
