Joker (2019)
Extremely timely and incredibly well thought out ideas
In an attempt to prevent anything like The Slap (2011 Australian TV Series) happening again, Oscars CEO Bill Kramer told Time magazine about having a crisis team in place for the 2023 ceremony, a first for the academy. “We’re run many scenarios. So it is our hope that we will be prepared for anything that we may not anticipate right now but that we’re planning for just in case it does happen.”
Here lies the list of possible scenarios the crisis team came up with:
