CALLING THEM OFF THE CARPET: At least one person believes the
secrecy surrounding this year's Oscar presenters - including
keeping them off the red carpet - is a wise idea.
"You want to see who are they wearing and what are they wearing," said veteran red carpet maven Joan Rivers. "And, if you're doing that on the red carpet, you don't necessarily have to tune into the show."
Rivers says pre-show arrivals telecasts - like the ones she used to host - helped erode ratings for the Academy Awards.
"Of course, we took away," she said. "There's no question that these took away. I'm just surprised it took them that long to figure it out."
Rookie Oscar producers Laurence Mark and Bill Condon have promised sweeping changes to the Academy Awards, and have been careful to keep many details under wraps.
