Oscar telecast director says the show will go on...
i talked to Oscar producer Gil Cates this morning about what impact the writers strike might have on the Oscar telecast next month if it is not resolved by then:
Here is some of what he said:
“Absolutely! Bring your tuxedo, bring your gown, we’re going to have a ball.”
What kind of contingency plans are being made for a strike-telecast: “The interesting thing about the Oscars is that you have to plan for everything. The first year I did the show, the Berlin Wall came down. We did the show one year when we went to war in Iraq and we cancelled the red carpet. We’re always flexible and fluid so that we can take advantage of what’s happening in the world.”
“Obviously, it will be a different show if the writers are on strike that it will be if they’re not on strike. We’re prepared for both.”
