The Oscars are likely to rely more on presenters this year, as the show is unmanned for the first time in 30 years. This comes after the Academy's choice – Kevin Hart – has been mired in controversy due to earlier homophobic tweets.
The lack of presenter put more pressure on securing top broadcasters – pressure that would have intimidated actors so that they did not show up at other awards ceremonies in the approach of the Oscars.
In a statement last month, the Screen Actors Guild's syndicate, Sag-Aftra, baderted that "extraordinary and unjustified pressure" was being exerted on their members for them to perform on stage at Oscars without having previously presented prizes for Sag.
