All they need to do is pass a broad definition of acceptable, and offer an inoffensive expansion to a universe people have come to know and love....

If it ain’t broke… That at least appears to be the thinking of the Academy of Motion Picture Art and Sciences. After infamously going host-less in 2019 following Kevin Hart’s high profile departure, last year’s Oscars received relatively positive reviews for its expedited night. This clearly has emboldened the Academy and ABC to once again host the Oscars without an actual master of ceremonies. Karey Burke, entertainment president at ABC, made it official when she announced the Oscars 2020 news at the TCAs earlier Wednesday....
