How About An Interactive Oscars?


Interesting story about attempts to make the Oscars more interesting. Hugh Jackman hosting? C'mon. He's talented, but the show will still drag, Peter Allen numbers or not.

Want to make the Oscars more interesting? Try making the show interactive. Put some graphics on the screen about who won, where they are from, what they have done. Let people Twitter on screen about the show - edit of course - and add some context. Maybe throw in a pair of industry commentators. Right now it's all host and celebrities going on and on.

There is so much you can do with that show, and yet it's taken the Academy years to still not do it. (For the record, I still liked Steve Martin hosting the Oscars the best.)
