HOLLYWOOD ACTOR, DAVID OYELOWO HYPES MPAST AWARDS OVER OSCARS
head of this year’s hostless Oscars, the Motion Picture Academy’s Scientific and Technical Awards, held Saturday night, proved it was possible to have an uncontroversial, enjoyable ceremony…complete with an emcee.
The Sci-Tech Awards honor technological innovators from the film industry who are rarely seen in front of the camera. The evening’s master of ceremonies, actor David Oyelowo, kept the mood light by lauding the tech award show over the Oscars and connecting with the honorees over the common mispronunciation of their foreign last names.
Oyelowo said, “These are the real unsung heroes of moviemaking, and I just love how selfless they are”.
“These guys spend tireless amounts of hours perfecting the things that make movies great. It’s a real honor to get to serve them tonight.”
Honorees were previously announced in December after being chosen by the Academy for their groundbreaking contributions to filmmaking and special effects.
