Producer Donna Gigliotti and co-producer and director Glenn Weiss said the group brings “excitement, momentum, and elements of surprise to this year’s Oscars.”
That’s for sure. This year’s ceremony is host-less, and has been revamping since reversing its decision Friday to award all 24 categories during the live show on ABC.
