There has been a lot of talk behind the scenes whether or not to change the way awards are presented at this big movie self congratulating event.

Producers of the telecast are worried there will be some kind of demonstration or protest during one presentation in particular, especially because everyone will know its coming. The producers would not mind at all if that presenter just begged off or called in sick or something to make it go away.

Presenting Oscar’s Best Actress Award
