I found it irritting as well, but curiously my wife didn't. Since
women constitute a large percentage of movie-goers, Academy voters, and
viewers of the AA shows, you can see how that would be a notable
marketing aspect.

> Who cares!!

Certainly women and black folk do, as they are rarely in the running.
It's a competition, right? So having anything at all that is novel in
the competition provides some kind of purported excitement. Note at
the triple stakes races there's a boatload of blabber about a gelding
or a mare in the competition--it's a rarity. Rarity and novelty sell
damn near everything in the USA.

Like what? Their clothes? Lame humor? Cut-away shots of bored
celebrities? If I'm following you here, you'd like it to be more like a
board-meeting of a financial institution or something? Most people want
excitement, novelty, suspense--even if it's bogus as television usually
provides. They are, after all, trying to make inject something
interesting into--reading the results of a poll! Clearly they have not
made it YOUR kind of interesting. But somebody seems to like it.

Now that you've established what you don't want, can you say what it is
you would like? Just read the winners and everybody go home? Or maybe
just announce them on the radio? Or more dancing and singing? Maye
juggling or a dog-act?

First they have to be involved in the making of movies, then they have
to gains some press for their deeds. If that happens you can be sure
handicapped personnel, will get as much hoopla as the press can manage.

No, they still have to be involved in film production. They don't give
Academy Awards to folks in other industries.
