The Academy has set a new rule for Oscar winners.
The annual Oscars Nominees Luncheon allows candidates from all categories to mingle before to the big night, and this year was no exception. Tom Cruise, the producer and actor of Top Gun: Maverick, was seen conversing with Malala Yousafzai, who is nominated as an executive producer for the documentary short Stranger at the Gate.
According to Clayton Davis, at the Oscar Nominees luncheon, The Academy president Janet Wang urges Oscar nominees to keep their winning speeches to 45 seconds.
“You’ve got to work with us, this is live television after all. Translation: keep it short, sweet and to the point, please.”
However, many does not agree with this new rule.
NO. let the winners have their moments. the best option is to make those host/presenter skits shorter because most of the times, it's corny as heII and unnecessary. the main reason why these award shows exist is to give honor to the winners for their hard work & skills anyway 😐

Absolutely not, Janet. This is a prestigious award. You get it when you achieve something truly remarkable, this accolade goes onto become a part of your name forever…so it only makes sense if these artists take as much time as they want on the stage.
