Maybe these two will spice it up this year?
Former chairman of Fox and current head producer at Pandemonium Films, Bill Mechanic and Adam Shankman, Hairspray director and So You Think You Can Dance choreographer and judge, are teaming up to produce the 82nd Academy Awards Telecast in March 2010.
Based on Shankman’s background, it’s assumed that there might be strong song-and-dance elements for this year’s show. Shankman says of his new responsibility:
“The last time I was on the show was as a dancer, and to come back as a producer is such an unbelievable honor. I look forward to collaborating with Bill to celebrate the world’s collective love of movies and provide a fun escape from the difficult times we’re living in. Simply put, there is no show like the Oscars and I am thrilled to be a part of our industry’s most treasured tradition.”
Usually the Oscars are a bit of a snoozefest once the red carpet ends, but maybe Shankman and Mechanic will cook up something good!
A host hasn’t been announced yet, but might we suggest Perezzers?
We’ll keep ya entertained!
