Days after Neil Patrick Harris hinted he would never host the Oscars again, Craig Zadan, a Producer of Hollywood’s biggest night, hints that it is three and out for Neil Meron and him.
I am OK with this! I like Zadan and Meron’s work in movies (Sing, Hairspray, Footloose) and on television (Smash, HappyLand), but I’m not a fan of their Oscar work. Their hosts were not the best and several of their bits went on way too long and didn’t work. Plus, now that they won’t be preoccupied by the Oscars, hopefully they will spending more time focusing on the live version of The Wiz for NBC (hint hint, skip The Music Man again).
When it comes to who I think should produce the Academy Awards, I think AMPAS should offer it to Tangled and Galavant’s Alan Menken and Dan Fogelman. Who do you want to get the job?
