Oscars Producers Talk “I’m Just Ken”, Nude John Cena & Bob Iger Making The Call To Start Late – Contenders TV: Doc + Unscripted


Ratings continued to climb for the 96th annual Oscars that took place March 12, especially following the all-time lows of the pandemic years.

With Jimmy Kimmel returning for his fourth stint as host and second in a row, reviews were upbeat for the most part and the show benefited from a good movie year with blockbusters like Barbie and Best Picture winner Oppenheimer. Oscarcast executive producers Raj Kapoor, Katy Mullan and Molly McNearney(who also was a writer) and director Hamish Hamilton joined Deadline’s Contenders Television: Documentary + Unscripted event to break it down. Some of that monologue was aimed at stars and nominees sitting in the audience, except there was a huge problem with arrivals including protesters blocking traffic routes into the Dolby Theatre, and many weren’t in their seats at the new early start time of 4 p.m. PT.
