Deadline’s Pete Hammond hit all the big points from today’s live-and-video membership meeting of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences—Oscar show revamp, producers hired, revenue divers…
are promising much, and already beginning to make good on the promises, not least by holding the first of what are promised to be annual meetings open to the Academy’s 10,000-plus members.
For starters, the audience laughed out loud, according to my best report, when Kramer acknowledged that members haven’t actually liked the Oscar show lately. It was something the administration definitively learned from a member survey—not the first, but the only one in a long time from which candid, negative feedback was publicly shared.
Supposedly, there’s much more to come. Early in the meeting, the Kramer/Yang team promised to post on their member site a recap of doings at each and every meeting of the Board of Governors. To date, those meetings have been shielded from view, and protected by a clause in the bylaws that forbids any governor to discuss the board’s business outside the room.
