- Because this year's Oscars aren't embarrassing enough already, the Academy has backtracked on their decision to not invite last year's winning actors to present awards at this year's ceremony ( ONTD post here), and now all four winning actors will be presenting.
- Janney had posted to Instagram that she was heartbroken they weren't planning on continuing the tradition of having the previous year's winners present the award to the new winners, but she has since deleted the post.
- As word spread, several prominent Academy members said if the tradition of last year's winners presenting wasn't continued, there would be a backlash.
- The Oscars have decided to pair the performers up to present, with Frances McDormand and Sam Rockwell presenting an award together, and Allison Janney and Gary Oldman presenting an award together.
