By the way - I do agree that the music was played too fast for award winners this year, and I asked our team to relax that rule as the show went on. While no one was actually cut off, it’s something to address going forward.
Good seeing him actually address this, but it still sucks for everyone who won awards this year.
The music was generally all over the place IMO. I hated how they played that cheesy violin theme whenever they caught a whiff of someone being even slightly emotional and followed it up with their upbeat main theme right after. It’s definitely something they should work out before next year. I don’t remember it being this bad in the past.
That’s the thing, that wasn’t a sad emotional theme, it was literally their cue to get off the stage. They play music over them then the teleprompter says “PLEASE WRAP IT UP”. That’s why everyone is so pissed.
