Text of the page (random words):
in directing and lead acting categories he also noted that these nominations heavily contrasted last year s nominations that included best picture winner 12 years a slave and best supporting actress winner lupita nyong o 41 as a result the academy was ridiculed by the black twitter community and became the target of hashtag movements such as oscarssowhite and whiteoscars 42 43 in addition u s democratic party congressman tony cárdenas wrote a letter voicing his concerns regarding ampas and diversity stating while the issue of diversity in the entertainment industry is a much deeper problem without an easy solution it is unfortunate to see such a revered american institution fail to fully reflect our nation cárdenas went on to say that he was willing to work with academy officials in making the entertainment industry more representative of different ethnicities 44 in response to criticism about lack of diversity ampas president isaacs told reporter sandy cohen from the associated press that the academy was committed to seeking out diversity of voice and opinion 45 she refrained from addressing the lack of diversity of that year s nominees although stated that she was proud of all the nominees and praised selma as a fantastic motion picture 45 several days before the awards gala the national action network led by civil rights activist al sharpton and several other organizations planned to demonstrate near the ceremony at the dolby theatre before and during the telecast 46 however the protest was canceled in light of duvernay pleading with black activists to instead pursue a direct dialogue with academy leadership 47 critical reception edit the show received a mixed reception from media publications some media outlets were more critical of the show hitfix television columnist alan sepinwall commented it ran on and on and on and on so much that when host neil patrick harris finally got around to paying off a running gag about his oscar predictions being locked in a box on stage left he had to stop to explain the bit to us all over again in addition he observed either the production consumed harris the writing failed him or he picked a very strange night to go off brand 48 hal boedeker of the orlando sentinel wrote harris headlined a blah production number to start the show his running shtick about oscar predictions grew tiresome he concluded his review saying the music saved this oscar telecast but it was still a long tedious show the highlight reel will make it look better than it was 49 television critic alessandra stanley from the new york times said oscar nights almost always drag on too long but this one was a slog almost from the very beginning she also quipped the political speeches were somber but they turned out to be more lively and bracing than any of harris skits 50 other media outlets received the broadcast more positively television critic matthew gilbert of the boston globe commented neil patrick harris was very neil patrick harrisy sunday night in his first round as oscars host he was calm and cheerful and vanilla as usual always ready with a lightly snarky joke and always eager to jump into a big production number involving old timey choreography he s a pro at hosting after his tony and emmy gigs and it showed during the abc telecast in his endlessly relaxed and open energy he also wrote despite several production gaffes and an uneven pace the show moved along with a minimum of pain 51 the times picayune columnist dave walker wrote harris played it like he was basically born to do it light on his feet working the crowd or at center stage without his pants winkingly self deprecating moving right along when his prepared material didn t land which was too often and he now may have a job for life if he wants it furthermore praised the cast and several musical numbers from the show 52 david rooney of the hollywood reporter quipped harris displayed winning charm and appealing insouciance sprinkling the gags with moments of self deprecation in addition he remarked that several of the acceptance speeches and musical numbers provided a mix of humor fun and sincerity 53 ratings and reception edit the american telecast on abc drew in an average 37 26 million people over its length which was a 15 decrease from the previous year s ceremony 6 an estimated 63 million total viewers watched all or part of the awards 54 the show also earned lower nielsen ratings compared to the previous ceremony with 20 6 of households watching over a 33 share 7 in addition the program scored a lower 18 49 demo rating with an 11 0 ratings over a 26 share 55 it was the lowest viewership for an academy awards telecast since the 81st ceremony held in 2009 56 in july 2015 the ceremony presentation received eight nominations for the 67th primetime emmys 57 the following month the ceremony won one of those nominations for outstanding technical direction camera work and video control
