Random thought, but do the Oscars even need a host? After the monologue, they just introduce other people.

Posted by Volnelk Dec 7 '18, 11:25

Just do a video in the beginning that splices together scenes from all the favorite films of the year in a cute way and then have announcer-voice guy say 'To intoduce the nominees for best supporting actor, here are......and.......' and you are off.

Who cares who the host is?

The show is hosted by a person wearing a paper bag over their head and with voice-masking so they can't be identified. -- nm - pmb Dec 7, 12:01 15
- Yes, yes of course I will do it -- nm - Langdon Cobb Dec 7, 12:34

    - nice -- nm - SyrDragon Dec 7, 12:12
- The promos for this Masked Singer TV show have gone too far. -- nm - Baron Gifts Dec 7, 12:07 2
  - I feel like every week that's going to be either Debbi Gibson or Tiffany. -- nm - pmb Dec 7, 12:22 1
    - Throw in Donny Osmond for good measure. -- nm - Baron Gifts Dec 7, 12:40

- At the Game Awards last night the esports player of the year went on to the stage in furry costume. -- nm - Max Dec 7, 12:03
He's Hollywood's top box office star, and I'm chopped liver... -- nm - disembodied announcer voice Dec 7, 11:56
Yeah, I like this. Where things go sideways is when we break from the awards to do a “bit” which usually falls flat. Have them do a big open, fini. -- nm - Mop Dec 7, 11:41
The host isn't just about hosting the show, but promoting it beforehand. - Roger More Dec 7, 11:41
Animated host. Imagine Peter Griffin saying "And to present the award for Best Supporting Actor... Imogen Poots. Heheheheheh. Poots." -- nm - Baron Gifts Dec 7, 11:37 3
- Didn't they kinda have that when McFarlane hosted? -- nm - Mayor of Slamtown Dec 7, 11:40 2
  - I suppose so. Also, I for one thought his song was hilarious. -- nm - Baron Gifts Dec 7, 11:48
  - Like anyone actually watches these shows. -- nm - Spawn Dec 7, 11:41
they should skip the hosts and just have a screen that scrolls the nominees and winners - the whole thing could be over in about 30 minutes! -- nm - decline Dec 7, 11:36 1
- no show, just publish the results in a newspaper the next day. -- nm - colin Dec 7, 11:37

- Exactly. Just call it a 'Tribute to Cinema's history' and have historic winners of each award come back and be the ones that give them out. - Volnelk Dec 7, 11:35
The same could be said for opening bands. -- nm - Spawn Dec 7, 11:26 3
- "some day, this host is gonna be big. BIG!" -- nm - colin Dec 7, 11:32
- To some degree. But I wouldn't NOT go to a show because of the opening band. They are there to get new exposure. - Volnelk Dec 7, 11:31 1
  - Just like sitcoms will have a comedian out before they start filming, the host is the comedian that warms an audience up. -- nm - Spawn Dec 7, 11:41
