iam, mishal, i am, mishal, and iam, mishal, and it is i am, mishal, and it is 9.115 in the morning here wondering if tonight is going to be their night. effectively nobody has got any idea whatsoever, the field is wide open and the movies which have been shortlisted, most of them have been shortlisted, most of them have proved controversial, as have the awards this year. the winner is cecil b demille... it's 1953 and the first televised oscars ceremony, the annual awards presented by the academy of motion picture arts and sciences — which won't be winning any prizes for the way it has handled this year's tv show. i thank you. what with host kevin hart quitting after past homophobic tweets came to light. and then there was a botched attempt to create a best popular film category, followed by an ill—fated plan to bury the cinematography award in a tv adbreak. added to which, viewers are switching off in their millions. i think that the academy took some ill—considered decisions this year and i think that there will be a price to pay. and when the academy steps in it as badly as it did thi
