So Don Mischer and Brett Ratner have been named producers for next year's Oscarcast, as you can see from the Academy's recent press release.
Not particularly thrilled about the announcement, but I'm gonna try not to join the chorus line of complaints kicking their way across the internet. I've already done my griping about the jumbled yawn of a show that Mischer (and co-producer in crime, Bruce Cohen) threw together this past February. Just gotta keep it in the past. Next year is another show. As for Ratner, I'm not all that familiar with his work outside of the first two Rush Hour phone-ins, so I'll try to keep an open mind about him. Who knows? Maybe he'll try to at least make it fun... maybe?
