ABC Entertainment, Curry Burke, said that the 2020 Academy Awards, scheduled for next February, will be without a presenter for the second year in a row.
"Let me assure you of that now," Burke told reporters. Together, we and the Academy of American Film Science and Arts have decided together that there will be no traditional host again this year. ”
The 2019 Oscar ceremony was organized without a host for the first time in 30 years, and saw an increase in the number of viewers of the concert broadcast on "ABC" to 29.6 million Americans, thus breaking the downward trend for the fourth year in the number of viewers of the concert broadcast on the air directly.
Burke said that the success achieved last year was driven by the decision not to have a presenter for the concert scheduled for February 9, which is witnessing the distribution of the most important awards in the film industry.
The rock band Queen opened the ceremony with a live show to celebrate the mass success of "Bohemian Rhapsody". Nominations for the 2020 Oscar Awards will be announced on Monday.
